Monastero di San Felice, Former Benedictine monastery in Pavia, Italy.
The monastery features a church with three apses, a crypt containing white marble reliquary arks, and a cloister supported by 30 marble columns.
The monastery, established during the Lombard period in 760, received donations from King Desiderius and Queen Ansa before its suppression in 1785.
During the 15th century, the monastery attracted numerous young noblewomen and underwent substantial renovations under Abbess Andriola de Barrachis leadership.
The monastery buildings currently house the Departments of Philosophy, Psychology, and Economics of the University of Pavia.
Archaeological excavations in 1996 revealed eight tombs from the 8th century within the church, including the burial site of English Princess Æthelswith.
