Palazzo del Maino

The palace dates back to a medieval period, but almost nothing remains of the original core. In 1750 the building was purchased by the Marquis del Maino and then sold to the San Matteo Hospital. The construction reflects the best Pavese architecture of the '700 with small traces of the '300 structure such as sail vaults, terracotta decorations of the atrium and the magnificent marble portal dating back at Bramante. It has its own monumental entrance, the courtyard of honor and the enclosed garden. Currently the building is home to the Technical Services Area of the University of Pavia.
