It was built since 1469 according to the laws of late Gothicism under the leadership of Guiniforte Solari . In 1490, Lodoviko Sforza planned to place the tomb of the ducal house of Sforza here and entrusted the completion of the church to the master of Renaissance education (it is believed that he was Bramante ).
On August 15, 1943 , Anglo-American aircraft bombed the refectory, but Leonardo’s fresco was not miraculously affected. In 1980, the entire monastery complex was declared a World Heritage Site - the first in Italy .
