Santa Maria alle Pertiche, Religious structure in Pavia, Italy
The church displayed a circular design with an ambulatory surrounded by six columns and featured a high dome in its central structure.
Queen Rodelinda, wife of the Lombard King Pertarito, established Santa Maria alle Pertiche in 677 outside the city walls of Pavia.
The church stood on a former Lombard burial ground where poles topped with bird figures marked graves, showing the fusion of pagan and Christian elements.
Two columns from the original structure remain in the Civic Museum of Pavia, while additional columns decorate Porta Milano.
Leonardo da Vinci documented the church layout in his Atlantic Codex during his visits to Pavia around 1490.
