Sant'Eusebio, Medieval crypt beneath Piazza Leonardo da Vinci in Pavia, Italy.
The underground structure features five naves divided by slender columns supporting cross vaults decorated with 12th-century Byzantine-style frescoes.
Originally established as an Arian cathedral during the Ostrogothic period, the church underwent transformation under Lombard King Rothari between 636 and 652.
The crypt contains Lombard capitals influenced by goldsmith techniques, reflecting the artistic preferences of early medieval craftsmen in northern Italy.
The archaeological site remains protected under a modern roof structure and requires advance reservations through Pavia Civic Museums for guided visits.
During restoration work in 1968, workers discovered early medieval tombs in the eastern section of the crypt's apse.
