Take a Look at Pavia, Italy

Wednesday March 8, 2006
Pavia, 35 km south of Milan, is an old university city with fine Romanesque and medieval buildings, a castle, and an interesting historic center. Pavia is known as the city of 100 towers but only a few remain intact today. Pavia makes a good alternative to staying in Milan, with easy access to the city of Milan and Linate airport. Near Pavia is the fantastic Certosa di Pavia, one of the most notable buildings from the Italian Renaissance period and one of the most extravagent religous complexes in Italy. Get to know Pavia with our Pavia Travel Profile or take a look at Pavia's castle, churches, squares, and street scenes in our Pavia Picture Gallery.
