The church of San Lanfranco, dating back to the 12th century, contains the tomb of Bishop Lanfranco Beccari († 1189), built in 1498 by the sculptor and architect Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1447-1552), born in Pavia. Inside the church is a fresco, one of the oldest in the city (thirteenth century), discovered in 1930 under the plaster, depicting the murder of Thomas Becket. The scene shows the bishop wearing the chasuble and being shot by five assassins.

The monastery is dedicated to Bishop Lanfranco Beccari, born in Pavia in 1124 and buried here. The church houses in the choir a cenotaph* made at the end of the 15th century by Amadeo.

Basilica of Pavia from the end of the 12th century. It is part of a Romanesque monastic complex consisting of the church with a Latin cross plan, what remains of two fifteenth-century cloisters, a part for agricultural use, a small cemetery now abandoned and emptied of burials and a rectangular bell tower detached from the church.
