Monastero della Pusterla

The monastery of Santa Maria Teodote, also known as Santa Maria della Pusterla, was one of the oldest and most important women's monasteries in Pavia. The small chapel dedicated to the Savior is one of the most refined complexes of Lombard architecture and painting of the early sixteenth century. The splendid decoration, which is presumed to be of Lombard origin is still visible on the wall north of the cloister.
