The history of the cathedral begins in August 1487 when the citizens asked for the construction of a new cathedral to replace the medieval buildings.
Cardinal Ascanio Sforza received permission from Pope Innocent VIII in 1488 to demolish the ancient cathedral and supervise the project.
The architecture of the cathedral follows a central plan with arms converging under a large central dome, influenced by structures such as the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence and the studies of Leonardo da Vinci. Donato Bramante initially led the project, while subsequent architects made some changes while maintaining Bramante's original ideas.
The construction of the dome was resolved at the end of the nineteenth century by Carlo Maciachini, who chose a masonry dome with a Greek cross plan.

The Cathedral of Pavia, completed in 1885, has an imposing façade surmounted by a dome and a loggia inside. The interior has a Greek cross structure with four arms divided into three naves. The dome is supported by eight elaborately shaped pillars, while all the other pillars have the same design. The presbytery is illuminated by high windows with frescoes and an image of the Assumption. The completion of the Cathedral involved several construction phases, including the addition of a reinforced concrete transept in the 20th century by several architects and engineers.

Strada Nuova, Pavia

Highlight • Historical Site

The Strada Nuova in Pavia is a historic street dating back to Roman times.
The name “Strada Nuova” does not suggest it, but it is actually the oldest street in Pavia.
The street is 1,195 meters long and runs from the Ponte Coperto to the Castello Visconteo.
The Roman street plan is still clearly visible in present-day Pavia.
The Strada Nuova is particularly lively and rich in shops and boutiques.

Basilica of San Michele Maggiore

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Ponte Coperto (the Covered Bridge) in Pavia

Highlight • Bridge

The Covered Bridge connects the historic center of Pavia to Borgo Ticino. The first bridge at this point was built by order of Emperor Augustus and was replaced in the 14th century by a covered bridge. Due to the damage suffered by the Allied bombings during the Second World War, one of the arches of the fourteenth-century bridge collapsed and it was decided to demolish the entire structure. The new bridge was inaugurated in 1951; on the entrance portal on the city side, in memory of past events, a plaque was placed reading: "On the ancient passage of the cerulean Ticino, in the image of the ancient Covered Bridge, demolished by the fury of war, the Italian Republic rebuilt it".

View of the Coperto Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rebuilt in the mid-fourteenth century to replace the old Roman bridge (whose pillars can still be seen), it connects the historic center of the city with the picturesque medieval village beyond the Ticino, a traditional town of washerwomen, gravel diggers and fishermen. Its feature, which makes it the evocative symbol of Pavia, is its roofing, commissioned by Galeazzo II Visconti in the aftermath of the conquest of the city, and the presence of an eighteenth-century chapel, dedicated to St. John of Nepomuk. Bombed in World War II, the bridge was rebuilt in the early 1950s.
