Church dedicated to St. Germano, whose construction dates back to the end of the 12th century and was completed in 1300, replacing an ancient parish church present in Varzi as early as 700 AD. Abandoned for centuries, it was revived thanks to the arrival of the Capuchin friars, who built a convent in 1623.

Varzi Historic Center

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center is a small pearl, well preserved, worth a visit.
from Wikipedia: Varzi (Vörs in Varzese dialect[4]) is an Italian municipality of 3,009 inhabitants in the province of Pavia in Lombardy. It is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is located in the Oltrepò Pavese, in a basin in the center of the Staffora valley, to the right of the homonymous stream, on the former state road 461 of the Penice Pass. Probably of Ligurian origin (the name contains the root var which - see the Var and Vara rivers - should mean river), Varzi has been known since 993, when it was a possession of the abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio.
