ヴァッレ・サリンベン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

洗濯婦の記念碑は、パヴィアにある有名なブロンズ彫刻で、ボルゴ・ティチーノの趣のある地区の川沿いにあります。この作品は、有名なポンテ・コベルトを渡ってすぐ左側の、ヴィア・ミラッツォの入り口にあります。

サンタ・マリア・デル・ノヴェッロ聖堂（ノヴェッロ聖堂としても知られる）は、パヴィア県トラヴァコ・シッコマリオにある魅力的な宗教的建造物です。この小さな田舎の教会は、ポー川の左岸の主要な堤防からわずか数歩の、氾濫原内の印象的で孤立した場所にあります。 起源：元の構造は1500年代後半（または一部の地元情報源によると1600年代初頭）に遡ります。ボナコッサ家によって委託され、以前の田舎の礼拝堂の上に建てられ、その内部には今日でも聖母の元のフレスコ画が保存されています。 洪水からの保護：民俗伝承によると、この建物は洪水からの神の保護を祈願するために、この正確な場所に建てられました。

Unfortunately, this church of St. James on the Via Francigena was closed.

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

In the countryside between Belgioioso and the river Po, near the hamlet of San Giacomo della Cerreta stands the small church of San Giacomo, a destination for pilgrims because it is located on the ancient route of the Via Francigena, to which its name refers to another of the destinations of medieval pilgrims: Santiago de Compostella in Spain. In the past, near San Giacomo della Cerreta, there was the small settlement of Porcaria, whose name refers to the breeding of pigs, documented from the twelfth century and disappeared in the fourteenth century. The church is of Lombard art from the first half of the fifteenth century, it has a single room, entirely painted with votive paintings related to pilgrimages. In addition to the Madonna, Saint Roch and Saint James are repeatedly depicted, both in the guise of pilgrims, carrying a stick and a saddlebag. In the images of St. James, the characteristic shell that pilgrims collected at Cape Finisterre, on the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, has been added as a sign and reminder of the journey made.

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.

According to legend, some pilgrims wanted to attend midnight mass in the city on Christmas Eve in 999, but due to the thick fog their boats could not cross the river. Suddenly, a man dressed in red arrived and promised that he would immediately build a bridge in exchange for the first soul to cross the bridge. The man in red was the devil, and only the Archangel Michael, who had come from the nearby church, recognized him. Michael pretended to agree to the deal, but once the bridge was built, a goat crossed it first. The bridge is therefore also known as the Ponte del Diavolo ("Devil's Bridge").

The covered bridge has its origins in Roman times. The current one was constructed in the 14th century and covered in 1583. Upstream of the bridge you can still see pillars of the original bridge, reconstructed after the Second World War. A memorial stone on the bridge tells that Albert Einstein stayed in Pavia for several months and loved the place.
