Visit Pavia city center
Pavia City Center
In the small area of city center you can find some nice historical place.
The main Square is Piazza della Vittoria, with the main streets Corso Cavour and Corso Strada Nuova.
Close to Piazza Vittoria you can see the Pavia's Dome.
Along the Strada Nuova you will reach the Ticino river and the magnificent "Ponte Coperto" historic covered bridge.
In the same area you can find one of the oldest church of Lombardy called "San Michele Maggiore", builded in 1188.

A first church devoted to St. Michael Archangel was built on the location of the Lombard Palace chapel (to this period belongs the lower section of the bell tower), but it was destroyed by a fire in 1004. The current construction was begun in the late 11th century (crypt, choir and transept) and was completed by 1155. The vaults of the nave, originally with two grossly squared groin-vaulted spans, were replaced in 1489 by the design of master architect Agostino de Candia[1] in four rectangular spans, and the structure was created by his father the renown Pavia master mason Iacopo da Candia[2].
The basilica was the seat of numerous important events, including the coronations of Louis III (900) and Frederick Barbarossa (1155), among the others
