Certosa Of Pavia Wheelchair Accessible Tours

In the heart of Lombardy, just a few kilometers from Pavia and easily reachable from Milan too, stands a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance art: the Certosa di Pavia wheelchair accessible tours.

This extraordinary monastic complex is not only a religious site, but also a place of great artistic, cultural, and historical fascination.

Visited every year by thousands of tourists and worshippers.

The construction of the Certosa di Pavia began in 1396 at the behest of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, the first Duke of Milan, as a family mausoleum.

He wanted to create a sacred place that would celebrate the glory of the Visconti Family and perpetuate their memory over time.

The project was initially entrusted to Marco Solari da Carona but over the centuries numerous architects and artists contributed to its realization, including Giovanni Antonio Amadeo and the great Bernardino Luini.

Touring Certosa Of Pavia

Upon entering, the three naves are covered with splendid frescoes and the vaults are painted with starry skies.

The effect is truly surprising, certainly unexpected.

The church is the last building in the complex to be constructed and the one most influenced by the Renaissance style that had become widespread in the meantime.

Starting with Perugino's magnificent Madonna, the tour continues with the impressive stained-glass windows by De Mottis, also found inside the much more famous Milan Cathedral.

Don't forget to admire Bergognone's famous altarpieces, and then on to masterpieces by XVI and XVII century masters such as Morazzone, Guercino, Cerano, and Daniele Crespi, who trained at the Accademia Ambrosiana.

After leaving the church, the tour continues through the small cloister and the large cloister, which open onto the monastery's rooms and several small gardens.

Indeed, the Certosa di Pavia was designed to be completely self-sufficient.
