Guide of Pavia, Italy

Pavia, Italy

This ancient, interesting city is just right for a one-day trip outside Milan. The old city center can easily be covered on foot: walking along the streets and squares, you can see the architectural sights from centuries and centuries of history. From the Roman Era to the Middle Ages, from the Visconti and Sforza eras to the Renaissance, from Neoclassicism to Liberty style.

We recommend you end your trip by seeing the wonderful Certosa di Pavia (Pavia Charterhouse), that is 5 km outside the city, which was built around 1396 on the wishes of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan.
