The charming medieval town of Pavia is the capital of the homonymous province in the Lombardy region. Here you will find a world of culture, history, art and tradition...

The Ticinum, today called Pavia, although it had been an important Roman center during the ancient Empire, it was only during the Middle Ages that it knew an expressive development. The ancient Lombard Papia was the capital of the mediam kingdom.

There are numerous places of great tourist interest in this city, among which I recommend: the Basilica of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro (founded by the Lombards, but rebuilt in the twelfth century); the Visconti Castle (built by the will of Galeazzo II Visconti); the Palace of the University of Pavia (founded in 1361, one of the oldest universities in the Italy); the Duomo (Renaissance).

I recommend a tour around the city and its beautiful historic streets and stop for a pizza in the many restaurants that are there... Don't forget the covered bridge, the most modern version of the bridge erected in the 14th, unfortunately, destroyed during World War II. to
