San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore is a Catholic church in Milan. It was founded in Lombard times on Roman foundations, and the monastery is documented from the eighth or ninth century. In 964 Otto I gave it a relic of St. Maurice. Rebuilding began in 1503 and was finished in 1518, by Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono with Giovanni Antonio Amadeo and completed by Cristoforo Solari. Ippolita Sforza and Alessandro Bentivoglio appear to have been the main patrons of the Renaissance decoration.
A wall divides the vaulted nave, with a grating from which the nuns followed Mass. The facade is grey Ornavasso stone, and the organ was built in 1554 by Giovan Giacomo Antegnati.
Bernardino Luini painted the frescoes, including the Life of San Maurizio on the dividing wall and the Martyrdom of St. Catherine of Alexandria in 1530. The monastery now houses the Civic Archaeological Museum.
