A church in the Lombard Gothic style.

The crypt of this cathedral has a soothing atmosphere!

A memorial to the laundresses. Thanks to Willem VS for his excellent descriptions!

A dignified, impressive building in a wonderful park. A must-see.

Inside you will see a raised choir with mosaic floors and striking sculpted capitals. The apse contains a beautiful 15th century fresco* (crowning of Mary). The left transept contains the precious 10th century Crucifix of Teodote, made of silver plates.

This masterpiece in Lombardy-Romanesque style was built in the 12th century on the remains of an older church, where the coronation of the Lombard kings took place. This tradition continued in the new building and it was here that Frederick Barbarossa was awarded the Iron Crown of the Kingdom of Italy in 1155. The importance of the building explains its façade** of light sandstone (and not the then usual brick), remarkably balanced and varied in its sculpted decoration. On the right is a Romanesque door. On the door lintel, Christ gives Paul a papyrus scroll and Peter the keys to the church.

Construction of this gigantic cathedral, crowned with one of the largest domes in Italy, began in 1488. Bramante and Leonardo da Vinci are said to have worked on the design. Because of the complexity of the dome, it was not completed until 1887. The facade is 19th century.

This imposing brick castle was built between 1360 and 1365 by order of Galeazzo Visconti and served as a fortification and residence. The north wing of the castle was destroyed at the battle of Pavia (1525) between the French and the Spanish. Petrarch loved the building and assembled a rich library there, which later moved to France. The large courtyard has arcades and an ornate loggia with twin windows.
