Borgo Calvenzano, Architectural ensemble in Pavia, Italy.
The Borgo Calvenzano stretches along Viale Bligny with a continuous portico featuring rounded arches and two-story buildings arranged in a row formation.
Construction of this commercial infrastructure complex began in 1816 when Gaetano Franzini acquired development rights for the 20,000 square meter area near Naviglio Pavese.
The ground floor spaces housed workshops for blacksmiths, carpenters, and saddlers who supported the flow of goods along the Naviglio Pavese waterway.
The interior courtyards contain facilities for boats and animals, with storage areas, stables, shops, and taverns occupying the ground level spaces.
Two bakeries and an oil press operated within the complex, serving the local population and travelers using the adjacent waterway system.
