Tour description

I like to accompany people through the streets of my city. Many Lombard kings have lived in Pavia.
 Alboin was the first king to forcefully "knock" on the doors of Pavia, Liutprando is buried in one of our churches, Rotari founded a church in Pavia, and scholars say that Lombard laws were written in this very city.
 The remains of Teodolinda's daughter were found in the church of San Giovanni Domnarum. In short, it is possible to review the history of the Italian peninsula by visiting "the city of 100 towers".

 If you come during the summer solstice, I will show you the moment when Frederick Barbarossa was crowned king in 1155.

 Suggested itinerary (in case of funerals, weddings or other celebrations it will not be possible to visit the interior of the churches):

  • BORGO Side Covered Bridge (Exit)
  • Saint Theodore
  • Saint Michael Major
  • Corso Garibaldi where Alboino fell from his horse
  • Crypt of Sant Eusebio only externally. The entrance is paid)
  • Crypt of San Giovanni in Domnarum
  • San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro
