The 360 photo shows the internal nave and dome of the "Basilica di S. Maria delle Grazie", Holy Mary of Grace. The church was built during the second half of 15th century and was part of a domenican convent. Luckily it received only limited damages by the heavy bombing on Milan in WWII. Clean and delicate frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries cover the vaults and the the dome, that is unusually bright thanks to the many windows designed by the famous architect Bramante. Just outside the front door on the right there one can visit the famous painting "The last Supper" by Leonardo Da Vinci. This Basilica is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Italy’s and perhaps the world’s capital of fashion and design, Milano is home to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, which is possibly the world’s oldest shopping mall. The city is currently undergoing an architectural renaissance, which will culminate in a new skyline for the Expo 2015, which will be hosted in Milano. Visitors can take advantage of an extensive public transportation system, which includes metro, buses, trolleys and trams.
