Pavia Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Stephen the First Martyr and to Our Lady of the Assumption, is the most imposing church in Pavia and an important Renaissance building, a synthesis of a central and longitudinal plan that anticipates the typological research surrounding St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The cathedral's dome, 97 meters high, is the fourth tallest and largest in Italy, surpassed only by St. Peter's Basilica, the Pantheon (shorter but wider) in Rome, and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence.

The crypt of this cathedral has a soothing atmosphere!

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

The bridge has been unusable for some time, pay attention!!!!

This beautiful square is simply called Piazza Grande by the locals: it is the lively centre of the city and a shopping district. It is surrounded by arcades full of cafés and shops. On the south side, towards the Duomo, stands the Broletto, the 12th century former town hall; behind one of the windows of the old building watches over the beloved statue of the Madonna di Piazza Grande (1604)
