Palazzo Reale, Royal palace in Pavia, Italy.

The Palazzo Reale spans across both sides of the main decumanus, featuring multiple buildings connected by courtyards and passageways at the heart of Pavia.

Founded in the 6th century by Ostrogoth king Theodoric, the palace served as the central power hub of northern Italy until its destruction in 1024.

The palace contained a legal school for training royal judges and hosted general assemblies where crucial political matters were discussed and decided.

Recent archaeological excavations have revealed wall traces and structural remains that correspond to sections of the original royal palace complex.

The palace housed the royal mint, court offices, and thermal baths, making it a complete administrative and residential center for Lombard rulers.
