Pavia

Located 35 kilometers south of Milan, Pavia extends along the Ticino River with numerous medieval towers and Renaissance buildings throughout its center.

Between 572 and 774, Pavia functioned as the capital of the Lombard Kingdom and later served as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy until 1024.

The University of Pavia, established in 1361, ranks among the oldest academic institutions in Italy and continues to shape the educational landscape of Lombardy.

The city center contains multiple pedestrian zones where visitors can reach major attractions such as the Cathedral, San Michele Church, and the Visconti Castle.

The Certosa di Pavia, constructed in 1396 outside the city, displays Renaissance architecture with marble facades and extensive religious artwork collections.
