This magnificent church was built in the 15th century, and is a true example of Venetian Gothic architecture. The colourful stained glass windows, statues and paintings are a delight to behold and make for a truly spiritual experience. The church also has an impressive layout, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore.
The cathedral it is well preserved, beautiful inside and the piazza outside the church is very quiet and beatiful.

An interesting church. Who are the four mitred gentlemen at the altar? I like the pulpit halfway down the church … no sound system for the preaching … the people know by heart what’s in the Missal but what is said in the homily? Even today, I would like a handout for those interested, to take away and study. I liked the painting of Mary, Mary M., and John at the crucificion.

San Michele Maggiore Church is a magnificent testament to Lombard-Romanesque architecture, steeped in history and artistry. This centuries-old structure stands proudly on the site of an earlier Lombard church, with its lower campanile still echoing tales from the past. Originally destroyed in 1004, it underwent reconstruction starting at the end of the 11th century and was completed by 1155.
Beautiful, not over-the-top, but very lovely. (Sadly the sandstone on the outside is quite weathered, making it challenging to see the external artwork.) Worth seeing if you're in the Pavia area - Have fun!

Wonderful lombardic-roman basilica, San Michele Maggiore stands here since 1100 and is today recognized as one of the most impressive churces of the Longobardic period.

The church is impressive. The old sandstone of the façade is impressive. I found the inside less taken care of as it used to be. Especially the crypt. No light to the stone steps to go down. Dark the inside, sloppy the cloth on the altar. I was so surprised, I use to come here when I am near Pavia. San Michele was probably my favourite church... I was really deluded!

The Cathedral of Pavia, also known as Duomo di Pavia, is a stunning 15th-century Renaissance building primarily made of red brick. It features a huge dome that stands 97 meters high and weighs around 20,000 tons, making it the third largest in Italy. The cathedral houses a reliquary believed to contain a thorn from Christ's crown. Notable artists like Leonardo da Vinci have contributed to its design and construction.
An incredible church — it’s the third tallest Church in Italy and absolutely massive and stunning inside. Don’t miss the chance to visit it in Pavia.

The University of Pavia, with its roots dating back to the 9th century, was officially established in 1361. Notable alumni include Christopher Columbus and Alessandro Volta, known as the father of the electric battery. The university boasts several courtyards designed as square cloisters, each with unique characteristics. It is also equipped to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Visitors should not miss historic classrooms like the Spallanzani classroom and the impressive palace with its numerous courtyards.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, my experience with the foundation program in Pavia was disappointing. The overall organization leaves much to be desired, and communication with students is often confusing and ineffective. In particular, the coordinator Elena proved to be incompetent: she has difficulty communicating in different languages ​​and does not seem to know her tasks well. Students often do not receive adequate support or clear information about schedules, exams or deadlines. I expected a more professional environment, considering that it is a university program aimed at international students. I do not recommend it.

Nestled in the heart of Pavia, the Chiesa di Santa Maria di Canepanova is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture that dates back to the early 16th century. Constructed between 1500 and 1507 by Giovanni Antonio Amedeo, this church showcases an octagonal design that reflects the ad quadratum style. Its interior features a centrally planned space with a dome that elegantly extends into its square perimeter.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Santa Maria di Canepanova is the most important sixteenth-century monument in Pavia. We are in via Defendente Sacchi and behind a rather anonymous and partly unfinished façade lies a jewel to be discovered. Once inside you are fascinated by the colorful frescoes and the richness of their details, which make this church a small seventeenth-century Lombard art gallery. The shape is octagonal, with eight large arches separated by columns that enclose niches decorated with baroque motifs. But we want to focus our attention on a small fresco on the main altar depicting a Madonna, the oldest work already existing at the time of the church's construction. In fact, the history of the Church of Santa Maria di Canepanova starts from here. Where the church now stands, there once stood a home of an ancient and noble family from Pavia, the Canepanovas. On the outside wall of their house was a fresco of the Madonna breastfeeding a child that was believed to be able to work miracles. The number of pilgrims who arrived to venerate the sacred image increased more and more and this is how it was decided to build a sanctuary to safeguard and protect the work. The Canepanovas donated the land of the house and in 1500 the first stone of the sanctuary was laid. There are those who attribute the initial project as the work of Bramante, while the theory that attributes the initial works to Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, an architect from Pavia who built the dome of the Milan cathedral, is more realistic. Thus was born the sanctuary of the Madonna di Canepanova, which takes its name from the image of Mary venerated inside and from the family who financed it. Once you enter it is amazing. (Original) La Chiesa di Santa Maria di Canepanova è il più rilevante monumento cinquecentesco di Pavia. Siamo in via Defendente Sacchi e dietro una facciata abbastanza anonima e in parte incompiuta si nasconde un gioiello da scoprire. Una volta entrati si resta affascinati dagli affreschi colorati e dalla ricchezza dei lori dettagli, che fanno di questa chiesa una piccola pinacoteca del Seicento lombardo. La forma è ottagonale, con otto grandi archi separati da colonne che racchiudono nicchie decorate a con motivi barocchi. Ma vogliamo concentrare la nostra attenzione su un piccolo affresco sull’altare maggiore raffigurante una Madonna, l’opera più antica già esistente al momento della costruzione della chiesa. Da qui parte infatti la storia della Chiesa di Santa Maria di Canepanova. Dove ora si trova la chiesa, sorgeva prima un’abitazione di una antica e nobile famiglia pavese, i Canepanova. Sul muro esterno della loro casa si trovava un affresco della Madonna che allatta un bambino che si riteneva potesse fare miracoli. Il numero di pellegrini che arrivava per venerare l’immagine sacra aumentò sempre di più ed è così che si decise di costruire un Santuario per custodire e proteggere l’opera. I Canepanova donarono il terreno della casa e nel 1500 si pose la prima pietra del santuario. C’è chi attribuisce il progetto iniziale come opera del Bramante, più realistica invece la teoria che attribuisce i lavori iniziali a Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, architetto pavese che fece costruire il tiburio del duomo di Milano. Nacque così il santuario della Madonna di Canepanova, che prende appunto il nome dall’immagine di Maria venerata all’interno e dalla famiglia che lo finanziò. Una volta entrati è meraviglia.

(Translated by Google) Construction period: 15th century Current use: Church Historical use: Church Accessibility: Small square in via Defendente Sacchi State of conservation: good Historical-artistic notes: by Restriction Decree: “It is a centrally planned building, with corner bell towers, designed by G.A. Amodeo perhaps with the collaboration or design of Bramante (1492 – 1507). Incomplete facade. Octogonal interior with dome, decorations by G. Moncalvo and G.B. Longarone”. The Sanctuary of S. Maria Incoronata di Canepanova dates back to the year 1500 and owes its origin to a miraculous fresco of the Virgin, which once existed on the facade of the house of the noble Canepanova family. The construction of the sanctuary was completed only with the advent of the Barnabites (1557), during the 17th century it was enriched with numerous paintings, sculptures and stuccos, which make this church a true museum of 17th century art. Following the suppressions of 1810, the Barnabites were forced to abandon the convent and sanctuary. The ancient Barnabite college attached to the church had in the meantime been used as a school, while the church was preserved as a subsidiary of the parish church of S. Francesco. On 6 December 1915 the place of worship was entrusted to the Friars Minor; they, no longer able to occupy the ancient Barnabite convent, took up residence in some rooms adjacent to the church. Therefore the need arose for a building that was more suitable for community life. Based on the architect's project. Carlo Morandotti, construction of the current convent began in 1935, which continued until 1937. Since their arrival in Pavia, the Friars distinguished themselves for their attention to the least and the poor. Thus they began to distribute hot meals daily to those who came to the convent door. Over the years the charitable activity has become increasingly better organised; currently some rooms of the convent are used as a "soup kitchen", which welcomes numerous needy brothers every day. In 1972, a studio for the design and creation of sacred art was established within the convent, on the initiative of P. Costantino Ruggeri, with the aim of translating the sacred language that post-conciliar liturgy he proposed. With the death of the Franciscan artist, the artistic studio was transferred and continues its activity supported by the Frate Sole Foundation. In 2007 work began on the renovation and rethinking of the convent spaces with the aim of adapting them to new pastoral needs: a renewed presence at the service of the Marian sanctuary and youth and university pastoral care. Catalog of Restricted Goods of the Municipality of Pavia at No. 030. (Original) Epoca di costruzione: secolo XV Uso attuale: Chiesa Uso storico: Chiesa Accessibilità: Piazzetta di via Defendente Sacchi Stato di conservazione: buono Note storico-artistiche: da Decreto Vincolo: “E’una costruzione a pianta centrale, con campanili angolari, progettata da G.A. Amodeo forse con la collaborazione o su disegno del Bramante (1492 – 1507). Facciata incompleta. Interno ottogonale con cupola, decorazioni di G. Moncalvo e G.B. Longarone”. Il Santuario di S. Maria Incoronata di Canepanova risale all’anno 1500 e deve la sua origine ad un affresco miracoloso della Vergine, che esisteva anticamente sulla facciata della casa della nobile famiglia dei Canepanova. La costruzione del santuario fu ultimata solo con l’avvento dei Barnabiti (1557), durante il ‘600 si arrichì di numerose pitture, sculture e stucchi, che fanno di questa chiesa un vero e proprio museo d’arte del Seicento. In seguito alle soppressioni del 1810 i Barnabiti furono costretti ad abbandonare il convento e il santuario. L'antico collegio dei Barnabiti annesso alla chiesa era stato nel frattempo adibito a scuola, mentre la chiesa fu conservata come sussidiaria della parrocchiale di S. Francesco. Il 6 dicembre del 1915 il luogo di culto fu affidato ai Frati Minori; essi, non potendo più occupare l’antico convento dei Barnabiti, presero dimora in alcuni locali adiacenti la chiesa. Nacque perciò l'esigenza di una costruzione che fosse più idonea alla vita comunitaria. Su progetto dell'Arch. Carlo Morandotti venne allora iniziata nel 1935 la costruzione dell'attuale convento, che si protrasse fino al 1937. Sin dal loro arrivo a Pavia i Frati si distinsero per la loro attenzione agli ultimi e ai poveri. Iniziarono così a distribuire quotidianamente dei pasti caldi a quanti ricorrevano alla porta del convento. Nel corso degli anni l’attività caritativa è andata organizzandosi sempre meglio; attualmente alcuni locali del convento sono adibiti a "mensa del povero", che accoglie ogni giorno numerosi fratelli bisognosi. Nel 1972 fu costituito all’interno del convento, per iniziativa di P. Costantino Ruggeri, uno Studio per la progettazione e la realizzazione di arte sacra con lo scopo di tradurre nelle molteplici manifestazioni artistiche (architettura, scultura, pittura) il linguaggio sacro che la liturgia post-conciliare proponeva. Con la morte dell’artista francescano, lo studio artistico è stato trasferito e continua la sua attività sostenuta dalla Fondazione Frate Sole. Nel 2007 è iniziato un lavoro di ristrutturazione e di ripensamento degli spazi del convento con il fine di adattarli alle nuove esigenze pastorali: una rinnovata presenza a servizio del santuario mariano e della pastorale giovanile ed universitaria.

(Translated by Google) The church of Santa Maria Incoronata di Canepanova is a Catholic place of worship located in via Defendente Sacchi in Pavia. It is the most important sixteenth-century monument in the city of Pavia, the work of the architect Giovanni Antonio Amadeo or, according to others, of Donato Bramante. History The construction work of the church began in 1500 and the first part was completed in 1507. The construction project is earlier if it is true that the Confraternity of Santa Maria Immacolata di Canepanova was founded in 1492, which deals with the collection of the funds necessary for its construction. The works were carried out under the direction of Giovanni Antonio Amadeo. The architect from Pavia, at the height of his fame after having erected the tiburio of the cathedral of Milan, was in Pavia on behalf of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, brother of Ludovico il Moro, to direct the construction of the cathedral. The scholar Bruno Adorni disputes this attribution: according to his thesis, due to the citation by the art historian Francesco Malaguzzi Valeri of a seventeenth-century writing which stated that Amadeo was present on the construction site in 1507, the attribution "has heavily influenced scholars who have dealt with the church up to the present day"[1]. According to Adorni, as well as for Arnoldo Bruschi, the design of the church must be attributed to Bramante. The church was built to celebrate a fifteenth-century fresco considered miraculous by tradition[2], depicting the Madonna del Latte which was located on the facade of a house in Viscardo of the noble Canepanova family, who partially subsidized the works; hence the name of the church itself[3]. To the left of the church entrance there is a painting dating back to the first half of the 17th century, depicting Pope John XIV venerating the image of the Madonna. The pope is the most illustrious exponent of the Canepanova family, assumed the throne of Peter after having been bishop of Pavia in the 10th century. Under the fresco an engraving bears the writing: «To Giovanni The construction works were interrupted during the war periods, being completed only in the 16th century with the arrival of the Barnabite fathers in 1557, who completed the construction with the erection of the dome. The church was consecrated in 1564 by Cardinal Ippolito de' Rossi. The Barnabites purchased some houses in the surrounding area and obtained building permits to build their own college, until 1620 when the square in front was created with the demolition of some houses[4]. In the seventeenth century the baroque decoration of the interior was created with paintings and stucco[5]. In 1810, with the Napoleonic suppression of religious congregations, the Barnabites had to abandon the convent, which was already used as a school[6]. The premises of the convent house the Liceo Classico which in 1865 was named after Ugo Foscolo[7] and the church became a subsidiary of the parish of San Francesco. On 6 December 1915 the church was entrusted to the Friars Minor who built the new convent next door, whose works, entrusted to Carlo Morandotti, lasted from 1935 to 1937. On 30 May 1926 the cardinal and archbishop of Milan Eugenio Tosi presided over the rite of the Coronation of the Virgin[8] On January 22, 2012, the conclusion of the works was presented, which involved an integral restoration project throughout 2016. Here the miraculous fresco of the Madonna del Latte... the beauty that can be admired inside this Marian Sanctuary in the center of Pavia is truly surprising... Thank God😇🙏👼 ⛪ (Original) La chiesa di Santa Maria Incoronata di Canepanova è un luogo di culto cattolico sito in via Defendente Sacchi a Pavia. È il più rilevante monumento cinquecentesco della città di Pavia, opera dell'architetto Giovanni Antonio Amadeo o, secondo altri, di Donato Bramante. Storia I lavori di costruzione della chiesa iniziarono nel 1500 e la prima parte fu ultimata nel 1507. Il progetto di costruzione è precedente se è vero che nel 1492 venne fondata la Confraternita di Santa Maria Immacolata di Canepanova, che si occupa della raccolta dei fondi necessari per la sua costruzione. I lavori furono realizzati sotto la direzione di Giovanni Antonio Amadeo. L'architetto pavese, all'apice della sua fama dopo aver eretto il tiburio del duomo di Milano, si trovava a Pavia su incarico del cardinale Ascanio Sforza, fratello di Ludovico il Moro, per dirigere la costruzione del duomo. Lo studioso Bruno Adorni contesta questa attribuzione: secondo la sua tesi, dovuta alla citazione da parte dello storico dell'arte Francesco Malaguzzi Valeri di uno scritto seicentesco che dava presente nel cantiere l'Amadeo nel 1507, l'attribuzione "ha pesantemente condizionato gli studiosi che si sono occupati della chiesa fino ai giorni nostri"[1]. Secondo Adorni, così come per Arnoldo Bruschi, invece il progetto della chiesa deve essere attribuito a Bramante. La chiesa è stata costruita per celebrare un affresco quattrocentesco ritenuto miracoloso dalla tradizione[2], raffigurante la Madonna del Latte che si trovava sulla facciata di una casa di Viscardo della famiglia nobile dei Canepanova, che sovvenzionò in parte i lavori; da qui il nome della chiesa stessa[3]. A sinistra dell'ingresso della chiesa vi è un dipinto risalente alla prima metà del XVII secolo, raffigurante papa Giovanni XIV che venera l'immagine della Madonna. Il papa è l'esponente più illustre della famiglia Canepanova, assunto al soglio di Pietro dopo essere stato vescovo di Pavia nel X secolo. Sotto l'affresco un'incisione riporta la scritta: «A Giovanni XIV, pontefice pavese della famiglia Canepanova, regnante nel 985, in precedenza vescovo di Pavia e primo cancelliere dell'imperatore Ottone III, l'immagine della Vergine, anticamente dipinta sulla casa della sua famiglia, avrebbe concesso benefici e miracoli» I lavori della costruzione furono interrotti durante i periodi bellici, venendo poi ultimati solo nel XVI secolo con l'arrivo nel 1557 dei padri Barnabiti, che completarono la costruzione con l'erezione della cupola. La chiesa fu consacrata nel 1564 dal cardinale Ippolito de' Rossi. I Barnabiti acquistarono alcune case nel circondario e ottennero dei permessi edilizi per edificare il proprio collegio, fino al 1620 quando fu creata la piazza antistante con l'abbattimento di alcune case[4]. Nel Seicento fu realizzata la decorazione barocca dell'interno con pitture e stucchi[5]. Nel 1810, con la soppressione napoleonica delle congregazioni religiose, i Barnabiti dovettero abbandonare il convento, che era già adibito a scuola[6]. I locali del convento ospitano il Liceo Classico che nel 1865 venne intitolato a Ugo Foscolo[7] e la chiesa divenne sussidiaria della parrocchia di San Francesco. Il 6 dicembre del 1915 la chiesa venne affidata ai Frati Minori che costruirono a fianco il nuovo convento, i cui lavori, affidati a Carlo Morandotti, si protrassero dal 1935 al 1937. Il 30 maggio 1926 il cardinale e arcivescovo di Milano Eugenio Tosi, presiede al rito dell'Incoronazione della Vergine[8] Il 22 gennaio 2012 è stata presentata la conclusione dei lavori che hanno interessato per tutto il 2016 un integrale progetto di restauro.

Sights & Landmarks
Ponte Coperto, also known as the Covered Bridge of Pavia, is a charming stone-arched bridge that spans the River Ticino. This historic bridge connects the city center with the Borgo Ticino district and features a covered walkway with a small chapel in its center. The bridge's unique structure consists of five arches and two portals at its ends.
Beautiful and fantastic place for quiet moments. The hike beside the river is a relaxing experience worthy to try. You can sit and have your meal on the river bank and enjoying the scenery around.

It’s a beautiful bridge with great views of the city in the background. Well worth a visit.

A nice historical bridge that tells a story despite being rebuilt. The bridge is considered an icon of Pavia and still retains a charm across the river. There are viewing points along the 2-way bridge. In the middle of the bridge, there is a small chapel though it is not always open. Across the river, there is a statue on the left dedicated to the people (often, the ladies) who used to wash clothes along the river.

The Bridge is well worth a visit it's unique I believe it's a rebuild as it was bombed during the 2nd WW but it's great to see lots of people socialising on it . I also like the sculpture of the Washer Woman dedicated to all the scrubbers who washed there laundry in the Ticcino River before the wonderful invention of the washing machine .

Ponte Coperto is very famous point for walking and enjoying peaceful nature around the Ticino river. It's very soothing and relaxing to walk around ponte after hectic daily routine.
Ehtisham B — Google review
When reading about Pavia, the Ponte Coperto is mentioned as one of its highlights. While it's definitely not something you see every day, it's also definitely not very picturesque. The bridge is still very much in use and only has narrow sidewalks. The amount of traffic crossing the bridge is huge, so it's a noisy and smelly experience crossing it on foot. View from the bridge is nice, but not spectacular. Been there, seen it, that's it.

Best time to visit: At dusk where one could enjoy the breeze and admire the sunset. You will find many vendors selling goods and wares. Italy with its great interest and passion for architecture and history has some of the world’s most interesting and ancient bridges. Albert Einstein spends quite a bit of time here, his quote is inscribed on a plaque.

San Teodoro in Pavia, Italy is a Romanesque-style Catholic church with a rich history dating back to the 8th century. Initially dedicated to Saint Agnes, it was later rededicated to San Teodoro, the bishop of Pavia. The church houses the saint's body and features well-preserved frescoes depicting the city of Pavia, adding to its exceptional beauty. Navigating through narrow streets to find this hidden gem adds to its allure.
This church is incredible. The reach it, you need to find it, walking from narrow streets, it feels like a labyrinth. Reach it is part of the magic of this place: no many people in a quite area, when you enter you discover a small church with many affresco representing Pavia’s history and more.

Worth a visit. Highlights are the frescoes showing Pavia during the French siege (notice the canons). The painted stone statue of St Theodore near the altar is as also worth noting. Very quiet. I was the only visitor. Unlike many other churches, it doesn't close midday. In and out in 20 minutes. Free.

San Teodoro is a Romanesque-style Roman Catholic church in the town center of Pavia, Italy. A church at the site is documented since the year 752. The parish is cited in documents from the mid-13th-century. Initially the church was dedicated to Saint Agnes, but by the year 1000, it was dedicated to San Teodoro, bishop of Pavia who died in 778. The body of the saint, who is the protector of fisherman and those working in the River Ticino, is housed in the main altar. The interior has a 13th-century altarpiece of a Madonna and child. and a series of early 16th-century frescoes depicting the Life of Sant'Agnese and San Teodoro. The Apse has a painting of the Adoration of the Lamb and some saints by Antonio Villa. The church has frescoes (1507) by Bramantino and Bernardino Lanzani. The latter's fresco includes a vista of Pavia in 1525/26 replete with medieval towers.

San Francesco d'Assisi is a Gothic Franciscan church located in the center of Pavia, Italy. The church offers two ascent options to reach its top, one being a challenging path and the other a panoramic route. Visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view from the summit. The church's structure reflects its historical significance, although it was decorated with Baroque elements in later years. Despite this, the side chapels are also noteworthy for their beauty.
Pavia is my favorite city from Italy.

(Translated by Google) This morning at 9.30 I participated in the Sunday Mass and, at the end, I left dissatisfied due to a whole series of "mistakes" that followed one another: sitting on the benches in front of the canteen, I could not see the presbytery or the celebrating priest because they are there two large windows from which natural light entered, dazzling those present: these large windows would need to be screened with two drapes or curtains. Whoever tried to animate the liturgy actually showed off his "skill" by monopolizing the microphone: only his voice could be heard. The reader who was supposed to proclaim the first reading and the Psalm actually seemed to be reading a daily newspaper so fast that not a single word was understood. Great disappointment, I have never yet witnessed a celebration like this, devoid of spirituality which left me with great bitterness at how the Day of the Lord can be profaned. (Original) Questa mattina alle 9.30 ho partecipato alla SS Messa domenicale e, al termine, sono uscito insoddisfatto per tutta una serie di "errori" che si sono susseguiti: seduto sulle panche di fronte alla Mensa non si vedeva il presbiterio né il presbitero celebrante perché vi sono due grandi finestre dalle quali entrava la luce naturale, abbagliante gli astanti: occorrerebbe schermare tali finestroni con due drappi, tende. Chi ha cercato di animare la liturgia in effetti ha dato sfoggio della sua "bravura" monopolizzando il microfono: si sentiva solo la sua voce. Il lettore che avrebbe dovuto proclamare la prima lettura ed il Salmo, in effetti sembrava leggesse un giornale quotidiano e talmente veloce che non si è compresa una sola parola. Grande delusione, una celebrazione così non mi era ancora capitato di assistervi, priva di spiritualità che mi ha lasciato una grande amarezza di come può essere profanato il Giorno del Signore.

Visconti Castle, also known as Castello Visconteo, is a late Gothic-era castle located in Lombardy. It features a vast courtyard and houses an art museum with frescos and history displays. The castle is part of the Civic Museums of Pavia and is surrounded by a popular park. This historical site symbolizes wealth and power dating back to 1360, showcasing the region's rich cultural and artistic development.
A great museum set in a lush, green environment. The collection features several masterpieces and a significant array of Lombard artifacts. The serene setting and well-curated exhibits offer visitors a profound appreciation of historical and artistic treasures.

Maria C — Google review
Visconti Castle is a nice place to go to spend maybe 2-3 hours in. Firstly the garden around the castle is very nice and serene (free to access), to enter the castle itself you need a ticket. The reason I gave this 4 stars is that the ticket is €10 per person which is not at all reasonable, and adding to that there is no discount for students (at least that’s what the lady said when we asked). The castle is a museum as well with nice and interesting pieces of history, including some ancient Egyptian artifacts (which caught me by surprise). The architecture of the castle itself is beautiful, it apparently has 4 floors but we could only access the ground and first floor (which has nothing but locked doors). On the ground floor you can enter the “museum” part of the castle. All in all a nice place to visit, but it felt kind of dead and boring sometimes. And I would not come here again simply because of the unreasonable price, only suitable for a one-time visit.

Civic Museum housed in a massive palace with beautiful arches, high windows and painted ceilings. Walls of each room are differently painted. The collection is well curated. However, lighting at the paintings gallery and the overall maintenance of the building were not that great. Friendliness of the staff made up to it. There is lot to see and enjoy at a slow pace. Definitely worth the ticket price of €10. Tickets could be purchase from the reception counter.

(Translated by Google) It is all that remains of an ancient monastic complex dating back to the end of the 12th century, built outside the walls of Pavia, on the left bank of the Ticino. The monastery, given its strategic position, was used several times as an army camp. For example, it was the headquarters of the king of France, Francis I, during the famous battle of Pavia in 1524 and inevitably suffers damage and loss of some parts. The church and the bell tower, both in Romanesque style, are however well preserved. Inside you can see, in particular, the Ark of San Lanfranco and some frescoes. Very interesting is the fresco of St. Thomas Becket, which recalls the well-known historical episode that occurred in 1170 in Canterbury Cathedral. There are also two cloisters, although partially preserved. It is an interesting church, with a long history behind it and which is worth a visit. (Original) È quanto rimane di un antico complesso monastico risalente alla fine del XII secolo, costruito all'esterno delle mura di Pavia, sulla riva sinistra del Ticino. Il monastero, data la sua posizione strategica, fu utilizzato più volte come accampamento di eserciti. Ad esempio, fu quartier generale del re di Francia, Francesco I, durante la famosa battaglia di Pavia del 1524 ed inevitabilmente presenta danni e perdita di alcune parti. La chiesa ed il campanile, entrambi di stile romanico, sono comunque ben conservati. All'interno sono possono vedere, in particolare, l'Arca di San Lanfranco ed alcuni affreschi. Molto interessante è l'affresco di San Tommaso Becket, che ricorda il noto episodio storico avvenuto nel 1170 nella cattedrale di Canterbury. Ci sono anche due chiostri, sia pure conservati in modo parziale. Si tratta di una chiesa interessante, con una lunga storia alle spalle e che merita di essere visitata.

Vincenzo E — Google review
(Translated by Google) Near the place where the church of San Lanfranco is located, there was a church dedicated to the Holy Sepulchre, founded in 1090. A new church of the Holy Sepulcher was built around the second decade of the 12th century, as remembered in the writings of Bernardo da Pavia , it stood in an area close to Ticino, surrounded by woods, called Valvernasca. Its construction was the work of the Vallombrosani, a community of Benedictine monks founded between 1012 and 1015 by Giovanni Gualberto of the Florentine Visdomini family. It was part of the Vallombrosan tradition and spirit to choose isolated places but close to important centres, to encourage meditation and, at the same time, preaching. The church was therefore located outside the city, but along a road traveled by travelers and pilgrims who could find hospitality in the monastery's hospitium. There is little information relating to the first years of life of the monastery, whose existence has been documented since 1123. The most significant period coincided with the years in which Lanfranco Beccari (born in 1124 and died in 1198) was bishop of Pavia. Lanfranco, consecrated bishop of Pavia by Pope Alexander III in 1180[4], was often a guest of the monastery. During his life Lanfranc fought against the local civil authorities who wanted to appropriate some ecclesiastical assets. For this reason he was forced to leave Pavia and go to Rome to find comfort and support in the Pope. Lanfranco decided to spend the last years of his life in the monastery and was buried here, with a reputation for sanctity. After his death on 23 June 1198, the church was dedicated to him. In 1236 the church was consecrated by the bishop of Pavia, Rodobaldo Cipolla, who died in 1254 and was later declared a saint. His relics are preserved in the cathedral of Pavia. The bell tower was built in 1237. The façade was completed in 1257. In the 12th and 13th centuries the monastery's properties were mainly concentrated in San Marzano, near Castel San Giovanni. In 1356 Galeazzo II Visconti had his troops stationed in the monastery of San Lanfranco to besiege Pavia and here he had a bastita built, later taken by the people of Pavia, connected, via a bridge over the Ticino, to a similar fortification located along the Gravellone canal. During 1476, commissioned by Abbot Luca Zanachi from Parma, the small cloister was rebuilt thanks to the architect Giovanni Antonio Amadeo. In 1480 Abbot Zanachi died under mysterious circumstances. Between the end of the 1400s and the beginning of the 1500s, many monasteries in Pavia had to accept the commenda regime, according to which the effective government of the monastery is separated from its ownership. This regime gave a strong impetus to the life of the monastery. The Marquis Pietro Pallavicini de' Scipione, commendatory abbot, removed the corrupt monks and renovated the monastery for the use of the remaining brothers and built a second courtyard to the east of the first. He then promoted the financing for the construction of the ark of San Lanfranco and the reconstruction of the presbytery in Renaissance forms (finished around 1509), to give the ark itself a correct location. In October 1524, Francis I, King of France, when laying siege to the imperial forces of Emperor Charles V barricaded in Pavia, chose to place his headquarters in the monastery. During the Battle of Pavia the monastery was the scene of clashes and had to suffer damage from a fire. In 1576 the monastery, of which Cardinal Albani was the commendator, was the subject of the apostolic visit of Monsignor Angelo Peruzzi from Bologna, on behalf of Bishop Ippolito De' Rossi. In the visit report the church appears to be in good condition. Maintenance works were carried out during the seventeenth century, in particular the southern wing of the complex was demolished due to problems with the infiltration of the waters of the Ticino. The bays were instead equipped with baroque windows, replacing Romanesque single-lancet windows. (Original) Nelle vicinanze del luogo in cui si trova la chiesa di San Lanfranco, sorgeva una chiesa dedicata al Santo Sepolcro, fondata nel 1090. Una nuova chiesa del Santo Sepolcro fu eretta intorno al secondo decennio del XII secolo, come ricordato negli scritti di Bernardo da Pavia, esso sorgeva in un'area prossima al Ticino, circondata da boschi, detta Valvernasca. La sua costruzione fu opera dei Vallombrosani, una comunità di monaci benedettini fondata fra il 1012 e il 1015 da Giovanni Gualberto della famiglia fiorentina dei Visdomini. Era parte della tradizione e dello spirito vallombrosano scegliere luoghi isolati ma vicini a importanti centri, per favorire la meditazione e, allo stesso tempo, la predicazione. La chiesa fu collocata dunque fuori città, ma lungo il corso di una via percorsa da viandanti e pellegrini i quali potevano trovare ospitalità presso l'hospitium del monastero. Sono scarse le notizie relative ai primi anni di vita del monastero, la cui esistenza è documentata dal 1123. Il periodo più significativo coincise con gli anni in cui Lanfranco Beccari (nato nel 1124 e morto nel 1198) fu vescovo di Pavia. Lanfranco, consacrato vescovo di Pavia da papa Alessandro III nel 1180[4], fu spesso ospite del monastero. Durante la sua vita Lanfranco lottò contro le autorità civili locali che volevano appropriarsi di alcuni beni ecclesiastici. Per questo motivo fu costretto a lasciare Pavia e a recarsi a Roma per trovare conforto e sostegno nel papa. Lanfranco decise di trascorrere gli ultimi anni della sua vita nel monastero e qui fu sepolto, in fama di santità. Dopo la sua morte, avvenuta il 23 giugno 1198, la chiesa gli fu dedicata. Nel 1236 la chiesa fu consacrata dal vescovo di Pavia, Rodobaldo Cipolla, morto nel 1254 e poi dichiarato santo. Le sue reliquie sono conservate nella cattedrale di Pavia. Il 1237 fu eretto il campanile. Nel 1257 fu ultimata la facciata. Nel secoli XII e XIII le proprietà del monastero erano concentrate, prevalentemente, a San Marzano, presso Castel San Giovanni. Nel 1356 Galeazzo II Visconti fece sistemare le sue truppe nel monastero di san Lanfranco per assediare Pavia e qui fece erigere una bastita, poi presa dai pavesi, collegata, tramite un ponte sul Ticino, a un'analoga fortificazione posta lungo il canale Gravellone. Nel corso del 1476 su commissione dell'abate Luca Zanachi da Parma, venne ricostruito il chiostro piccolo grazie all'architetto Giovanni Antonio Amadeo. Nel 1480 l'abate Zanachi mori in circostanze misteriose. Tra la fine del 1400 e l'inizio del 1500 molti monasteri pavesi dovettero accettare il regime della commenda, secondo il quale il governo effettivo del monastero è separato dalla sua titolarità, Questo regime diede un forte impulso alla vita del monastero. Il marchese Pietro Pallavicini de' Scipione, abate commendatario, allontanò i monaci corrotti e ristrutturò il monastero a uso dei confratelli rimasti e fece costruire un secondo cortile a est del primo. Promosse poi il finanziamento per la costruzione dell'arca di San Lanfranco e la ricostruzione del presbiterio in forme rinascimentali (finito nel 1509 circa), per dare una giusta collocazione all'arca stessa. Nell'ottobre 1524, Francesco I re di Francia, all'atto di porre sotto assedio gli imperiali dell'imperatore Carlo V asserragliati in Pavia, scelse di sistemare il suo quartier generale nel monastero. Durante la Battaglia di Pavia il monastero fu teatro di scontri e dovette subire i danni di un incendio. Nel 1576 il monastero, di cui commendatario era il cardinale Albani, fu oggetto della visita apostolica del bolognese monsignor Angelo Peruzzi, su incarico del vescovo Ippolito De' Rossi. Nel verbale della visita la chiesa risulta essere in buone condizioni. Durante il Seicento furono eseguiti lavori di manutenzione, in particolare fu demolita l'ala meridionale del complesso, per problemi di infiltrazione delle acque del Ticino. Le campate vennero invece dotate di finestre barocche, in sostituzione di monofore romaniche.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful ancient church that stood on the bank of the Ticino in the middle of the woods, with an adjoining monastery of the Monks of Vallombrosa who founded the church dedicating it to the Holy Sepulchre. Then the new church was built where Bishop Lanfranco was buried, in the marble ark. The structure is a Latin cross, with a single nave, late Romanesque architecture, many important frescoes, two cloisters, a beautiful bell tower... It is worth a guided tour! (Original) Bella chiesa antica che sorgeva sulla sponda del Ticino in mezzo ai boschi, con annesso un monastero dei Monaci di Vallombrosa che fondarono la chiesa dedicandola al Santo Sepolcro. Poi venne costruita la nuova chiesa dove venne sepolto il vescovo Lanfranco, nell'arca marmorea. La struttura è a croce latina, a navata unica, architettura del tardo romanico, tanti affreschi importanti, due chiostri, un bellissimo campanile... Merita una visita guidata!

(Translated by Google) San Lanfranco is a beautiful example of Pavia Romanesque art. Its foundation dates back to around 1090, when the church was part of a Vallombrosian monastery and its dedication was still to the Holy Sepulchre. The current dedication was given only after the death of bishop Lanfranco Beccari, which occurred in 1198. The church was also rebuilt in its current form: 1237 saw the erection of the bell tower, while the gabled façade, finished with sawtooth decorations which surmount intertwined hanging arches, was completed in 1257 in imitation of that of the Basilica of San Michele Maggiore, like all the Romanesque churches of Pavia. The single nave interior, however, stands out from the city model and follows Vallombrosian canons. The apse area was rebuilt at the beginning of the sixteenth century in Renaissance forms, and houses the stupendous Ark of San Lanfranco, a sculptural masterpiece by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1447 - 1522), built in 1498. The nave, however, has preserved typically Romanesque features, and its right side preserves some notable remains of thirteenth-century frescoes, including the depiction of the assassination of Saint Thomas Becket. (Original) San Lanfranco è un bellissimo esempio di arte romanica pavese. La sua fondazione risale al 1090 circa, quando la chiesa era parte di un monastero vallombrosiano e la sua dedicazione era ancora al Santo Sepolcro. L'attuale dedicazione venne data solo dopo la morte del vescovo Lanfranco Beccari, avvenuta nel 1198. Venne anche ricostruita la chiesa nelle forme attuali: il 1237 vide l'erezione del campanile, mentre la facciata a capanna, conclusa da decorazioni a dente di sega che sormontano archetti pensili intrecciati, fu ultimata nel 1257 a imitazione di quella della Basilica di San Michele Maggiore, come del resto tutte le chiese romaniche di Pavia. L'interno a singola navata, invece, si distacca dal modello cittadino e segue canoni vallombrosiani. La zona absidale fu ricostruita all'inizio del Cinquecento in forme rinascimentali, e ospita la stupenda Arca di San Lanfranco, capolavoro scultoreo di Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1447 - 1522), realizzata nel 1498. La navata, invece, ha conservato tratti tipicamente romanici, e il suo fianco destro conserva alcuni notevoli resti di affreschi duecenteschi, fra cui la raffigurazione dell'assassinio di San Tommaso Becket.

The Basilica del Santissimo Salvatore is an impressive and radiant church adorned with meticulously restored frescoes. Although not commonly mentioned in tourist guides, it was recommended by the manager of the Cathedral of Pavia. The exterior facade does not capture the true splendor that awaits inside. This historical place of worship, well-preserved and full of rich history, is deserving of a visit for contemplation and admiration.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful, ancient church, with many frescoes, paintings, statues.... A little gem! It was an ancient monastery. The church was founded by a Lombard king to celebrate the conversion of the Lombards to Catholicism. The two chapels next to the presbytery are interesting, one dedicated to San Benedetto and the other to San Martino di Tour, with entirely frescoed walls. The facade is very simple but the interior is a treasure! Worth a guided tour. (Original) Bella chiesa, antica, con tanti affreschi, quadri, statue.... Un gioiellino! Era un antico monastero. La chiesa fu fondata da un re longobardo x celebrare la conversione dei longobardi al cattolicesimo. Interessanti le due cappelle a fianco del presbiterio, una dedicata a San Benedetto e l'altra a San Martino di Tour, con le pareti interamente affrescate. La facciata si presenta in modo molto semplice ma l'interno è una ricchezza! Merita una visita guidata.

(Translated by Google) “Religious building from the 15th century and adjoining cloister from the 11th and 12th centuries. Internally it is decorated with valuable paintings from the early 16th century and high-value paintings. It also contains an altar from the 16th century and a wooden choir from the 18th century. Paolo Diacono testifies to the foundation of an oratory in honor of the Savior by the Lombard king Ariperto (therefore between 653 and 662), who was then buried there, like his successors Pertaridus, Cuniperto and Ariperto II. However, the position outside the walls is very exposed and it seems legitimate to believe that the complex may have experienced a period of decline during the military operations that pitted the Lombards against Charlemagne's Franks. Even later, during the siege of the Hungarians, in 924, it went through difficult times and the monks had to abandon the monastery to save themselves. But already in 925 a diploma from Emperor Rudolph II confirmed the Abbey of San Salvatore to the bishop; privilege renewed in 944 with the diplomas of Hugh and Lothair. The state of the buildings must not be the most prosperous if Queen Adelaide, wife first of Lothair and then of Otto I, decides to rebuild the church and convent from the foundations. He calls the Benedictines and entrusts the religious organization to the monk Maiolo, abbot of Cluny. In 1448 the Monastery was united to the Congregation of the Fathers of Santa Giustina of Padua who, between 1453 and 1467, rebuilt the church with the related monastery which developed on the west side, around the large cloister; The creation of the rich decorative apparatus took place in the decades between the 15th and 16th centuries. The complex underwent a significant renovation in the first half of the 18th century, clearly identifiable both in the decorative apparatus of the church and in the architectural elements of the monastery: in particular the large windows and the turrets inserted to give light to the galleries that disengage the cells of the first floor. Despite the 'improper' use by the army, which lasted about forty years, the church has retained a strong Benedictine imprint, thanks to the fact that a large part of the iconography and decoration was frescoed and therefore not removable. Thus, when in 1900, thanks to the Society for the Conservation of Christian Monuments, the church was regained for worship (the official reopening was on 21 March 1901), it did not lose the fundamental devotions linked to the monastic order and some chapels preserved the ancient dedications to San Benedetto, San Mauro, San Martino. Catalog of Restricted Goods of the Municipality of Pavia at No. 004. (Original) “Edificio religioso del XV secolo e chiostro annesso dell’XI e XII secolo. Internamente è decorato da pregevoli pitture del principio del XVI secolo e di quadri di alto valore. Contiene inoltre un altare del ‘500 e coro ligneo del ‘700”. Paolo Diacono testimonia la fondazione di un oratorio in onore del Salvatore da parte del re Longobardo Ariperto (quindi tra il 653 e il 662), che poi vi fu sepolto, come i suoi successori Pertarido, Cuniperto e Ariperto II. La posizione esterna alle mura è però molto esposta e sembra legittimo ritenere che il complesso possa aver conosciuto un periodo di decadenza durante le operazioni militari che videro contrapposti i Longobardi ai Franchi di Carlo Magno. Anche in seguito, durante l’assedio degli Ungari, nel 924, attraversa momenti difficili e i monaci devono abbandonare il monastero per mettersi in salvo. Ma già nel 925 un diploma dell’imperatore Rodolfo II conferma al vescovo l’abbazia di San Salvatore; privilegio rinnovato nel 944 con i diplomi di Ugo e Lotario. Lo stato degli edifici non deve essere dei più floridi se la regina Adelaide, moglie prima di Lotario e poi di Ottone I, decide di riedificare dalle fondamenta chiesa e convento. Chiama i benedettini e affida l’organizzazione religiosa al monaco Maiolo, abate di Cluny. Nel 1448 il Monastero viene unito alla Congregazione dei Padri di Santa Giustina di Padova i quali, tra il 1453 e il 1467, riedificano la chiesa con il relativo monastero che si sviluppa sul lato ovest, intorno al grande chiostro; nei decenni a cavallo tra il XV e XVI si colloca la realizzazione del ricco apparato decorativo. Il complesso subisce un rilevante intervento di rinnovamento nella prima metà del XVIII secolo, ben identificabile sia nell’apparato decorativo della chiesa, sia negli elementi architettonici del monastero: in particolare le grandi finestre e le torrette inserite per dar luce alle gallerie che disimpegnano le celle del primo piano. Nonostante l’uso ‘improprio’ da parte dell’esercito, durato circa quarant’anni, la chiesa ha conservato una forte impronta benedettina, grazie al fatto che buona parte dell’iconografia e della decorazione era ad affresco e quindi non asportabile. Così, quando nel 1900, grazie alla Società per la Conservazione dei Monumenti Cristiani, la chiesa viene riacquisita al culto (la riapertura ufficiale è del 21 marzo 1901), essa non perde le devozioni fondamentali legate all’ordine monastico e alcune cappelle conservano le antiche intitolazioni a San Benedetto, San Mauro, San Martino.

(Translated by Google) It was founded in 657 by the Lombard king Ariperto. It was rebuilt for the first time in 970 thanks to Queen Adelaide who also founded the Monastery of San Salvatore next to the church. In the 18th century the church and its monastery were transformed into barracks and military depot The church was then recovered and reopened for worship in 1901 It is truly a very ancient church, rich in history. The marble altar is from 1504, the work of Antonio da Novara. The former barracks has now been closed for years, while the small cloister was bought by the parish of San Salvatore and on 13 January 2019 the Cloister of San Mauro (small cloister) was inaugurated.

(Translated by Google) Given that my visit was directed to the crypt, I was still able to appreciate the church, which is in Baroque style (completely different from the hypogeum). The facade of this church (which was built by Gundeperga, daughter of the Lombard queen Teodolinda) cannot be seen, you have to enter private property. According to historians, it would be the first Christian church built in Pavia. Today it is much remodeled. The crypt rests on the remains of a Roman thermal building, of which some elements remain such as the "suspensurae", handle bricks, some capitals and the floor level. The hypogeum had been forgotten because in 1611 major works were undertaken in the upper church and the crypt was used as an ossuary and debris repository. Only in 1914 did a priest want to look for it and had a tunnel dug from the outside to verify its presence. He found the crypt and had it cleaned, revealing precious frescoes of saints and the Pantocrator. Today we can appreciate its arcane and spiritual charm by descending a staircase located on the north side of the church, inside the building. Critics date them to the 12th century. Must see! Geographic coordinates: 45.183 N 9.151 E (Original) Premesso che la mia visita è stata diretta alla cripta, ho comunque potuto apprezzare la chiesa, che è in stile barocco (completamente diversa dall'ipogeo). La facciata di questa chiesa (che fu eretta da Gundeperga, figlia della regina longobarda Teodolinda) non la si vede, bisogna entrare in una proprietà privata. Secondo gli storici sarebbe la prima chiesa cristiana eretta a Pavia. Oggi è molto rimaneggiata. La cripta poggia sui resti di un edificio termale romano, di cui residuano alcuni elementi come le "sospensurae", mattoni manubriati, alcuni capitelli e il livello pavimentale. L'ipogeo era stato dimenticato perché nel 1611 furono intrapresi grandi lavori nella chiesa superiore e la cripta fu usata come ossario e deposito di detriti. Solo nel 1914 un sacerdote volle cercarla e fece scavare dall'esterno un cunicolo per verificarne la presenza. Trovò la cripta e la fece ripulire, mettendo in luce preziosi affreschi di santi e del Pantocratore. Oggi possiamo apprezzare il suo fascino arcano e spirituale scendendo da una scala posta sul lato nord della chiesa, all' interno dell'edificio. La critica li data al XII secolo. Da vedere!

(Translated by Google) Guided tour of the TCI. An ancient church incorporated by buildings in the historic center of Pavia. It is practically accessed from an internal courtyard. But the crypt is what makes the Church so important from a historical and artistic point of view as the crypt itself features notable frescoes from the Lombard era. Even before that there was a Roman thermal pool. Hidden Pavia, fascinating Pavia! (Original) Visita guidata il TCI. Una antichissima chiesa inglobata da palazzi nel centro storico di Pavia.

Ancora antecedente insisteva una piscina termale romana. Pavia nascosta, Pavia affascinante!

(Translated by Google) A church that isn't particularly conspicuous for visitors to Pavia. You enter through a large doorway, as if entering a classic courtyard. Everything is centrally located. Beautiful inside without being too flashy. The richness of its history can be felt in the crypt, where several frescoes still remain. A little-known corner that demonstrates the city's rich history.

Un angolo poco conosciuto che dimostra la ricchezza di storia presente in città.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the oldest churches in Pavia, an important testimony of early medieval civilization: it is in fact, in all probability, the first place of Christian worship built by the Lombards in the city. It was built in 654 at the behest of Gundeperga, queen of the Lombard Kingdom and daughter of Queen Teodolinda. Over the centuries the church underwent countless renovations, until today it presents itself with a single seventeenth-century hall and a fifteenth-century late Gothic façade. The true artistic treasure of the building is the crypt, dating back to the 11th century, rediscovered only in 1914. Inside there are precious Romanesque frescoes, almost all created during the 12th century. The visit is free: it is accessed via a staircase on the left side of the church. (Original) È una delle chiese più antiche di Pavia, importante testimonianza della civiltà altomedievale: è infatti, con tutta probabilità, il primo luogo di culto cristiano fatto costruire dai Longobardi nella città. Venne eretto nel 654 per volere di Gundeperga, regina del Regno Longobardo e figlia della regina Teodolinda. Nei secoli la chiesa subì innumerevoli rifacimenti, fino a presentarsi oggi con un'aula unica seicentesca ed una facciata tardogotica quattrocentesca. Il vero tesoro artistico dell'edificio è la cripta, risalente all'XI Secolo, riscoperta solo nel 1914. Al suo interno sono conservati preziosissimi affreschi romanici, quasi tutti realizzati nel corso del XII Secolo. La visita è gratuita: si accede per mezzo di una scala posta sul lato sinistro della chiesa.

(Translated by Google) It is a beautiful example of Pavia Romanesque, so much so that at first glance it seems like a miniature San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro: the gabled façade crowned by a loggia with blind arches and intertwined hanging arches, the sandstone portal and what the remains of the capitals are all typically city elements, derived from the style of the Basilica of San Michele Maggiore, the mother of all the Romanesque churches of Pavia. Built in the 12th century on the remains of a pre-existing building from the Carolingian age, Santa Maria in Betlem has the oldest parts in the façade: the three-nave interior was unfortunately completely distorted by the Baroque-style renovations carried out in the 18th century. The restorations of 1952 eliminated most of these additions, returning the church to its original Romanesque appearance. (Original) È un bellissimo esempio di romanico pavese, tanto che al primo sguardo pare una San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro in miniatura: la facciata a capanna coronata da un loggiato ad arcatelle cieche e da archetti pensili intrecciati, il portale in pietra arenaria e ciò che resta dei capitelli sono tutti elementi tipicamente cittadini, derivati dallo stile della Basilica di San Michele Maggiore, la madre di tutte le chiese romaniche di Pavia. Eretta nel XII Secolo sui resti di un preesistente edifico di età carolingia, Santa Maria in Betlem presenta le parti più antiche nella facciata: l'interno a tre navate è stato purtroppo totalmente stravolto dai rimaneggiamenti in stile barocco realizzati nel Settecento. I restauri del 1952 hanno eliminato la maggior parte di tali superfetazioni, restituendo alla chiesa l'aspetto romanico originario.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the last time I visited it was to say goodbye to a dear friend, the previous time for a wedding. In any case, it is a small church in Romanesque style, given the style I would say it is quite ancient, obviously not very sumptuous, almost unadorned but perhaps for this very reason very welcoming. Let us always remember that Jesus chose to be the son of a carpenter and a housewife, not of a rich merchant or a nobleman...

Basilica dei Santi Gervasio e Protasio is the oldest church in Pavia, featuring a Romanesque bell tower and housing the sarcophagus of San Siro, the city's patron. Its origins date back to the 4th century, with significant renovations over time. The church boasts ancient wall paintings and a simple 18th-century facade. Visitors can admire sculptural works by Vittorio Francalanza on the bell tower.

(Translated by Google) Construction period: 4th century. Current and historical use: Church Accessibility: via Severino Boezio State of conservation: good Historical-artistic notes: from the Vincolo Decree: “Founded by S. Siro in the century. IV was the first Christian Basilica of Pavia. Non-visible traces remain of the original construction, but the building has elements from the end of the 11th century. Like the two capitals of the portal, walled under the entrance portico, and the interesting bell tower. Inside, sarcophagus of S. Siro and bas-relief with S. Siro. In the 18th century Restoration works lead to the raising of the vault and the addition of chapels" According to tradition, it is the oldest church in Pavia. It was built in the early Christian era in a cemetery area. The naming of the church is linked to the holy martyrs from whose remains, found in Milan by Sant'Ambrogio in 386, come the relics brought a few years later to Pavia by the third bishop Invenzio. The presence of the tomb of the proto-bishop Siro and of the Holy Bishop Pompey, his successor, has led us to believe that the church was the first cathedral. It appears that in the 12th century the Cluniac Benedictines were present in San Gervasio, replaced in the 13th by Cassino Benedictines; in this period the church was the subject of a reconstruction in Romanesque style. Between 1712 and 1718 a radical reconstruction of the church took place, with the reversal of the original orientation. The new façade faces east, to welcome the faithful coming from Via Sant'Invenzio. Unfortunately, this involves the loss of the Romanesque façade to make room for the current apse and, on the opposite side, the cancellation of the ancient apse with the adjacent sacristy for the construction of the new façade. In the Napoleonic era the church lost its status as a parish (1805) and became a subsidiary of Santa Maria del Carmine, which on the contrary had become a parish from a monastic church. Only in 1920 did the church of Saints Gervasio and Protasio finally recover its role as a parish. Remains of the early Christian church have been identified on the north and west sides of the first and second tier of the Romanesque bell tower. Portions of Romanesque masonry are also preserved on the side of the church towards Via Boezio, with the relative crowning of hanging arches. The facade, equipped with a three-light portico aligned with the bell tower, is plastered only in the lower part; the interruption of the works leaves the masonry of the upper recessed portion exposed, with a large central opening and lateral niches, crowned by an elegant tympanum of classical proportions. The irregular plan of the church is visually corrected inside by the rigorous division of the side walls which, according to the dictates of the Counter-Reformation, define a single hall, made even deeper by the long choir with a polygonal profile. The interior is covered by a large barrel vault, nailed in correspondence with the windows. Catalog of Restricted Goods of the Municipality of Pavia at No. 029. (Original) Epoca di costruzione: IV sec. Uso attuale e storico: Chiesa Accessibilità: via Severino Boezio Stato di conservazione: buono Note storico-artistiche: da Decreto Vincolo: “Fondata da S. Siro nel sec. IV fu la prima Basilica cristiana di Pavia. Della costruzione originaria rimangono tracce non visibili, ma l’edificio presenta elementi della fine del XI sec. Come i due capitelli del portale, murati sotto il portico d’ingresso, e l’interessante campanile. Nell’interno sarcofago di S. Siro e bassorilievo con S. Siro. Nel XVIII sec. Lavori di restauro portano al sopralzo della volta e all’aggiunta di cappelle” Secondo la tradizione si tratterebbe della più antica chiesa di Pavia. Fu eretta in età paleocristiana in un’area cimiteriale. L’intitolazione della chiesa si lega ai santi martiri dai cui resti, rinvenuti a Milano da Sant’Ambrogio nel 386, provengono le reliquie portate qualche anno dopo a Pavia dal terzo vescovo Invenzio. La presenza della sepoltura del proto-vescovo Siro e del Santo vescovo Pompeo suo successore ha indotto a ritenere che la chiesa fosse la prima cattedrale. Risulta che nel XII secolo in San Gervasio sono presenti i benedettini cluniacensi, sostituiti nel XIII da benedettini cassinesi; in questo periodo la chiesa è oggetto di una ricostruzione in forme romaniche. Tra il 1712 e il 1718 si procede ad una ricostruzione radicale della chiesa, con il ribaltamento dell’orientamento originario. La nuova facciata viene rivolta a est, ad accogliere i fedeli provenienti da Via Sant’Invenzio. Questo comporta purtroppo la perdita della facciata romanica per lasciare spazio all’attuale abside e, dal lato opposto, la cancellazione dell’abside antica con l’attigua sacrestia per la realizzazione del nuovo prospetto. In età napoleonica la chiesa perde la qualifica di parrocchia (1805) e diventa sussidiaria di Santa Maria del Carmine, la quale al contrario da monastica era diventata parrocchiale. Solo nel 1920 la chiesa dei Santi Gervasio e Protasio recupera finalmente il ruolo di parrocchia. Resti della chiesa paleocristiana sono stati individuati nei lati nord e ovest del primo e secondo ordine del campanile romanico. Anche nel fianco della chiesa verso via Boezio si conservano porzioni di muratura romanica, con il relativo coronamento di archetti pensili. La facciata, dotata di un portico a tre luci allineato con il campanile, viene intonacata solo nella parte inferiore; l’interrompersi dei lavori lascia a vista la muratura della porzione superiore arretrata, con ampia apertura centrale e nicchie laterali, coronata da un elegante timpano di proporzione classica. La planimetria irregolare della chiesa è corretta visivamente all’interno dalla rigorosa partitura delle pareti laterali che, secondo i dettami della Controriforma, definiscono un’aula unica, resa anche più profonda dal lungo coro a profilo poligonale. L’interno è coperto da una grande volta a botte, unghiata in corrispondenza delle finestre. Catalogo dei Beni Vincolati del Comune di Pavia al N. 029.

(Translated by Google) According to tradition, this is one of the oldest churches in Pavia. Obviously, almost nothing remains of the original early Christian building except some walls of the bell tower. The very simple 18th century façade. Now on the bell tower we can admire the work of the sculptor Vittorio Francalanza of San Zenone Po: "“San Siro with the loaves and fishes” " A curiosity about this ancient church. An elm was planted in the church square at the end of the eighteenth century, which went down in history as the Foscolo elm, since tradition says that the poet loved to rest in the shade of this tree. According to the news, the tree died in 1901 attacked by a parasite. Another tradition says that the tree was the nightly meeting place of witches (from Wiki) (Original) Secondo la tradizione questa è una delle Chiese più antiche di Pavia Ovviamente Dell’originario edificio paleocristiano non rimane quasi nulla se non alcune murature del campanile, La facciata del 700 molto semplice . Ora sul campanile possiamo ammirare l'opera dello scultore Vittorio Francalanza di san Zenone Po : " “San Siro con i pani e i pesci” " Una curiosità su questa antica chiesa . Nel piazzale della Chiesa a fine settecento fu piantato un olmo, passato alla storia come olmo del Foscolo, dal momento che la tradizione racconta che il poeta amava sostare all’ombra di questo albero. Secondo le cronache l’albero mori nel 1901 attaccato da un parassita. Un’altra tradizione racconta che l’albero fosse il luogo di convegno notturno delle streghe ( da Wiki )

The Parish Priest, Don Siro, assists with dedication the souls of the parishioners and the numerous faithful who participate in the various functions and, assisted by his collaborator Gabriele, takes care of the environments with attention, love and delicacy, not only preserving them from the degradation of the times but continuously promoting renovation and embellishment works for the Church.

(Translated by Google) Church with very ancient origins. We are around the 4th century, that is, in the early Christian era. Subject of many renovations including the most "overwhelming" when the entrance was reversed in 1712. Inside, not of the church, but on the north side of the same building, there are "grotesque" wall paintings. The same typology that is also found in some rooms of the Curia (a place rarely visited) in front of the Cathedral also in Pavia. They are an ancient and quite rare type of paintings that I personally find particular and remind me of what appeared much later: the "naif". In the photos, I tried to document not only the church obviously, but also this particularity present in Pavia (as far as I know) only in the two religious places mentioned. I am not a particularly religious person, much more I simply love looking at history or to better clarify what MAN has been able to transform into HISTORY. (Original) Chiesa dalle origini molto antiche. Siamo intorno al IV secolo cioè in epoca paleocristiana. Oggetto di molti rifacimenti tra cui il più "stravolgente" quando l'ingresso è stato invertito nel 1712. All'interno, non della chiesa, ma sul lato nord della stessa costruzione, si trovano dipinti murali "a grottesche ". La stessa tipologia che si trova anche in alcuni ambienti della Curia ( luogo raramente visitabile) di fronte al Duomo sempre di Pavia. Sono una tipologia di dipinti antica ed abbastanza rara che personalmente trovo particolare e mi ricorda ciò che molto tempo dopo è comparso: il "naif". Nelle foto, ho cercato di documentare oltre alla chiesa ovviamente, anche questa particolarità presente a Pavia (che io sappia) solo nei due luoghi religiosi citati. Io non sono una persona particolarmente religiosa, molto più semplicemente amo guardare la storia o per meglio chiarire ciò che l' UOMO ha saputo trasformare in STORIA.

Chiesa di Santa Maria Gualtieri, located in Pavia, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 989 by Walterius. Initially used for small temporary exhibitions and conferences, the church has since been adapted for concerts and other events. It is well-organized and easily accessible, despite being a bit hidden in the center of Pavia. The church also serves as a venue for excellent concerts and exhibitions, offering good acoustics for small local events.
(Translated by Google) Usually used for small temporary exhibitions and conferences. Well organized and easily accessible. A place that has changed its use and adapted for concerts and exhibitions. It can only be visited on the occasion of these and therefore serves as a backdrop to what is offered from time to time. Overall a good place right in the center of Pavia, even if a little hidden. (Original) Solitamente usata per piccole mostre temporanee e congressi. Ben organizzata e facilmente raggiungibile. Luogo che ha cambiato destinazione d'uso e adattato per concerti e mostre.

In linea di massima un buon posto proprio al centro di Pavia, anche se un poco nascosto.

All attached photos are "pigreco development". In Italy only 13% (approximately) of the population graduates and this in itself is a big problem.

Chiesa di San Lazzaro is situated in a quiet corner of Pavia, Italy. Founded in 1157, it was once the site of the oldest Lazzaretto in the country and features a simple gabled facade in Lombard Romanesque style. The interior has been restored and contains intriguing traces of Roman frescoes. Although some frescoes have been lost over time, the church still holds historical significance.

(Translated by Google) The Church of San Lazzaro is located in a side street of Viale Cremona, it is called this because it was the site of the oldest Lazzaretto in Italy. It was founded in 1157 by Gislenzone Salimbene, and his sons Siro and Malastreva, together with the attached hospital. Very simple, gabled façade, Lombard Romanesque style. The interior, which has been restored, preserves traces of Roman frescoes of considerable interest. It can be found open on Sunday mornings around 9.00am when there is Mass, otherwise the visit must be arranged. It is an important church that should be reevaluated.

It is oriented along the east-west axis, with a facade facing west. This is gabled, in terracotta, and has a central brick arched portal surmounted by a blind three-light window above which runs a blind loggia made up of three small columns in the lateral panels and two in the central one. Above there is the terminal frame formed by a double alternation of courses of bricks in list and bricks arranged in sawtooths.

(Translated by Google) A very bad experience. I had 3 months in the infectious diseases department, with all the symptoms of Houdkin's lymphoma that the doctors in the department did not recognise. I was discharged and after 5 days again in the infectious diseases department with a fever of 39, in those 2 weeks I was completely abandoned and I was only given tachypirin, then thanks to a phone call from the ministry of health I was visited by a hematology specialist who found the lymphoma which in the meantime had reached the fourth stage . I spent 1 month in the hematology department and in the meantime I was given 2 doses of chemo, then I was transferred to Pascale in Naples where the doctors were incredulous at the inability of the doctors at San Matteo. Furthermore, I discovered that the chemo administered at San Matteo was not they were right to treat stage four lymphoma. Moreover, the structure is beautiful, clean, very kind staff especially the nurses, plus maximum availability for every problem... Like I had a really stressful roommate and talking about it with the doctors I was immediately moved to another room where I was alone and peaceful. I must add that the residents were really good and kind and I don't blame them if they couldn't understand my problem but rather their superiors who apparently don't examine the patients' symptoms properly in order to give a specific diagnosis. (Original) Pessima esperienza mi sono fatto 3 mesi nel reparto di malattie infettive , con tutti i sintomi di un linfoma di Houdkin che medici del reparto non riconoscevano , sono stato dimesso e dopo 5 giorni nuovamente nel reparto di malattie infettive con febbre a 39 , in quelle 2 settimane sono stato del tutto abbandonato e mi veniva somministrata solamente la tachipirina, poi grazie ad una telefonata dal ministero della salute sono stato visitato da un ematologia che ha trovato il linfoma che nel frattempo è arrivato al quarto stadio . Mi faccio 1 mese nel reparto di ematologia e nel frattempo mi vengono somministrate 2 dosi di chemio poi vengo trasferito al Pascale di Napoli dove i medici sono rimasti increduli del incapacità dei medici del s.matteo in più scopro che le chemio somministrate al San Matteo non erano giuste per curare un linfoma di quarto stadio . Del resto la struttura è bella , pulita , personale molto gentile soprattutto gli infermieri , in più la massima disponibilità per ogni problema .. Tipo avevo un compagno di stanza davvero stressante e parlandone coi medici sono stato immediatamente spostato in un'altra stanza dove ero solo e sereno . Devo aggiungere che gli specializzandi erano davvero bravi e gentili e non me la prendo con loro se non riuscivano a capire il mio problema ma con i loro superiori che a quanto pare non esaminano per bene i sintomi dei pazienti in modo da dare una diagnosi specifica.

Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie is a stunning church that captivates visitors with its beautiful furnishings, including an exquisite wooden choir and a modern tabernacle positioned to the left of the main altar. Nestled in a semi-central area of Voghera, this impressive structure is managed by the Barnabite Fathers. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting, as the friars conduct mass in an engaging manner that resonates with attendees without dragging on too long.
(Translated by Google) This evening the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Voghera hosted an extraordinary event that united the community in an atmosphere of great enthusiasm and participation. The historic building, built by the Benedictine Friars in 1075 and belonging to the Franciscan order since 1820, was the perfect location for such a special occasion. Citizens were able to witness a wonderful show, made possible by the collaboration between the owner of the house, Father Cristoph, the Mayor of Voghera Paola Garlaschelli, the Regional Councilor Elena Lucchini and the President of Amo Voghera Roberto Bonacina. This event demonstrated how important coordination between institutions is to achieve quality results. The city of Voghera responded with great enthusiasm and attention, filling the church with people eager to participate in the show. The positive energy and enthusiasm of the audience made the event even more memorable. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this unique evening happen. It was a real pleasure to witness such an important event and see the community come together in a moment of celebration and sharing.

(Translated by Google) The sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Voghera is an ancient church in Roman Gothic style. The first evidence of the site dates back to 1153. Various orders followed: Benedictines, then Dominicans from 1410 and Franciscans from 1820. It was rebuilt in 1505 but during the Napoleonic period it was used as a warehouse. In 1927 it underwent its last restoration. The sanctuary is known for its fifteenth-century fresco of the Madonna delle Grazie which can still be used inside today. (Original) Il santuario di Santa Maria delle Grazie a Voghera e una chiesa antica in stile gotico romano. Le prime testimonianze del sito sono del 1153. Vari ordini si sono succeduti : Benedettini poi dal 1410 i Domenicani e dal 1820 i Francescani. Fu riedificata nel 1505 ma durante il periodo napoleonico venne usata come deposito. Nel 1927 subì l'ultimo restauro. Il santuario è conosciuto per il suo affresco quattrocentesco della Madonna delle Grazie che è tutt'oggi fruibile al suo interno.

Chiesa di San Luca is a stunning baroque church, originally built for the 1570 jubilee and later restored for the 2000 jubilee. The interior is adorned with intricate decorative details and impressive perspective paintings, creating a mesmerizing effect within its simple single nave architecture. The choir in the apse is particularly noteworthy, complemented by the perfect acoustics of the hemicyclic dome.
Heavenly concert of bach in citta.a wholesome experience.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful baroque churches ever seen! Built for the 1570 jubilee, restored for the 2000 jubilee, it is a symphony of decorative details and high school perspective paintings, quilted on a simple single nave architecture like lace! The choir in the apse is beautiful, where I had the honor of singing, amplified by the perfect acoustics of the hemicyclic dome! Absolutely worth visiting. (Original) Una delle chiese barocche più belle mai vista! Costruita per il giubileo del 1570, restaurata per il giubileo del 2000, è una sinfonia di dettagli decorativi e dipinti d'alta scuola prospettica, trapuntati su un'architettura semplice a singola navata come dei merletti! Bellissimo il coro in abside, dove ho avuto l'onore di cantare, amplificata dalla perfetta acustica della cupola emiciclica! Da visitare assolutamente.

(Translated by Google) Every Sunday at 10 am, a community of faithful gathers in this church to attend the Mass in Vetus Ordo (in the ancient rite and in Latin), as it was celebrated before the Second Vatican Council.

(Translated by Google) It was built at the end of 1500, separated from the surrounding houses by two narrow alleys. The façade preceded by a small churchyard, has a portal with its classical tympanum, while the lunette window, the large pediment and the pairs of pilasters date back to the end of the 1500s. There are also decorative elements such as the capitals with the cross, a symbol linked to pilgrimage. The ox symbol of San Luca is inserted where the tympanum ends, there is an altar dedicated to him where a bone relic is preserved. It is a single nave oratory, rectangular in plan, with a large apse. (Original) È stata costruita alla fine del 1500, separata dalle case circostanti da due stretti vicoli. La facciata preceduta da un piccolo sagrato, presenta un portale con relativo timpano di matrice classica, mentre sono della fine del 1500 la finestra a lunetta, il grande frontone, le coppie di paraste. Ci sono anche elementi decorativi come i capitelli con la croce, simbolo legato al pellegrinaggio. Il bue simbolo di San Luca è inserito dove si interrompe il timpano, c'è un altare a lui dedicato in cui si conserva una reliquia ossea. È un oratorio a navata unica, di pianta rettangolare, con un ampia abside.

The Church of Saint George Martyr is an ideal destination for pilgrims seeking a comprehensive and fulfilling experience. With its generous provision of 13 beds in three distinct rooms, well-equipped kitchen facilities including a refrigerator and freezer, modern amenities such as television and air conditioning, this place provides everything one could wish for. The kind-heartedness and affability of the host further enhance the pilgrim's journey. A contribution or donation is encouraged but not mandatory.

NEVER GO THERE ! If you are a pilgrim looking to sleep at the parochia run the other way ! The lady at the bar is not only unfriendly but rude, you have to give her your donation before going to the accomodation (weird huh ?!), on which she comments...and then...I've never seen a place so filthy in my life! (And I walked the Camino de Santiago in both France and Spain). We were 4 pilgrims and we cleaned for an hour upon our arrival before even thinking of a shower. And I'm not even mentioning the bugs... And the lady even admitted that she doesn't change the sheets every day !! This is the first time I ever commented on a place because I don't want another pilgrim to feel like we did... It's a shame !!

(Translated by Google) Structure located in the greenery of the Park, architecturally, in my opinion, externally unattractive, inside it is well organized and equipped, with large spaces and lots of brightness. Adjacent rooms (oratory) are well equipped and the Parish Priest is very friendly, attentive and available to listen and help, always present with a very kind spirit towards everyone. Parish community attentive to the needs of the neighborhood and always ready to actively respond to the needs of parishioners and fellow citizens. A place frequented by many young people who form a supportive community. (Original) Struttura ubicata nel verde del Parco, architettonicamente, a mio avviso, esternamente poco attraente, all’interno si rivela ben organizzata ed attrezzata, con ampi spazi e molta luminosità.

(Translated by Google) A structure that doesn't look good on the outside...all that square concrete. When you enter you discover that the interior has been well furnished and is welcoming. The balcony overlooking the entrance is very beautiful and from which the choir and instruments spread their voices and sounds throughout the church. Suggestive. There are also many benches on which to sit and, despite the Covid-19 period, it can accommodate many faithful. The parish priest is extraordinary. Not at all stuck in the role, very direct and clear. I like how he relates to parishioners. Excellent parish (Original) Una struttura che esternamente non piace...tutto quel cemento squadrato.

Molto bella la balconata che sovrasta l'accesso e dalla quale il coro e gli strumenti diffondono voce e suoni in tutta la chiesa. Suggestivo. Vi sono poi molte panche sulle quale prendere posto e, nonostante il periodo di Covid-19, puo' ospitare molti fedeli. Il parroco è straordinario. Per nulla ingessato nel ruolo, molto diretto e chiaro. Mi piace come si rapporto con i parrocchiani. Ottima parrocchia
