- PAVIA -

Dating back over 2,000 years, the city of Pavia (pop. 71,000) served as the capital of Lombard and Carolingian Empires from ca. 600AD - 1100AD. Situated 35km south of Milan, it is home to one of Europe's oldest universities, chartered in 1361.

Once known as the city of 100 towers, Pavia today has fine Romanesque and Medieval buildings, a castle, and a vibrant historic center. Some festival concerts are held in the Basilica of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro (St. Peter in Golden Sky). This late Medieval church is the final resting place of Saint Augustine, Boethius, and the Lombard King Liutprand.
