San Giovanni Domnarum, Religious building in central Pavia, Italy.

The church features a single hall layout with lateral chapels, a square choir area, and a 15th-century front facade with terracotta rosette.

Queen Gundeberga established San Giovanni Domnarum in 654, making it the first Catholic church constructed by Lombard rulers in Pavia.

The crypt contains 12th-century frescoes depicting local saints, including Saint Syrus, Pope Gregory I, and Saint Juventius of Pavia.

Located on Via Mascheroni in Pavia's historic center, the church maintains its original bell tower with Roman materials near the belfry.

The underground crypt, rediscovered in 1914 after centuries, reveals ancient frescoes and architectural elements from different historical periods.
