In Pavia, culture is easily combined with nature. Because artistic treasures are certainly not lacking, but in the city itself we can enchant ourselves by immersing ourselves in the greenery of the Botanical Garden, which represents an important cultural heritage, not only local. Established in 1773, first in support of the teaching and study of botany in the medical field, later turned to research and teaching in the field of natural sciences.

In its immediate surroundings, for those who have never been in the area we recommend a visit to the Certosa di Pavia, one of the most distinguished monuments of our plain, splendid in its perfection and in its isolation: beautiful to see it appear in the middle of the fields and rice fields. Wanted by Gian Galeazzo Visconti in 1396, it was completed in the sixteenth century and then remodeled in the eighteenth century: therefore many styles and works are preserved, among which the funeral monument of Beatrice d’Este and Ludovico il Moro stands out, sculpted in 1497.

From Porta Ticinese you can enter the heart of the great and multifaceted Milan.
