Dive into Lombardy’s lesser-known gems. Pavia boasts a centuries-old university, cobbled lanes, and a medieval bridge, while Certosa’s stunning Carthusian monastery complex astounds with its ornate marble facade.
Expect 1 hour to Pavia, then 20 minutes to Certosa di Pavia. A private driver from MXP Airport ensures you experience both the historic university city and Renaissance monastery complex at your own pace.
Construction on Pavia Monastery began in 1396 by the same architects who crafted the Duomo of Milan. As architectural styles shifted over the course of its 100-year construction, the monastery developed a special mix of late-Gothic and early Renaissance styles. This unique masterpiece has both grand and small cloisters, detailed stained glass windows, and frescoes adorning the apse of the church. While exploring the interior, keep an eye out for the tomb of the founder, works by Bergognone, and the triptych by Baldassare degli Embriachi made using hippopotamus teeth and ivory.
