Santuario di S.Maria di Canepanova

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Canepanova was built between 1500 and 1507 by Giovanni Antonio Amedeo and represents one of the most significant monuments of the city of Pavia. The square construction reflects the ad quadratum style of the architect born in Pavia. The interior space is centrally planned with the eight sides of the dome projected into the square perimeter of the church. There are also works and canvases by artists such as the Procaccini depicting the “Women of the Bible” in the wing above the portal.
