If you are traveling to Italy, don’t forget to visit Pavia–a historic and lovely city 35 kilometers (21.75 miles) south of Milan. Pavia used to be the center of most parts of the Italian Peninsula. It was built by the Romans and it rose to power in 1300. There used to be 100 towers in the city, earning it the title of “The City of 100 Towers”. Today, you can still see a cluster at the Piazza di Leonardo di Vinci. The University of Pavia is the Alma Mater of the renowned explorer and voyager Christopher Columbus. The Certosa di Pavia, an extravagant monastery, is one of the best examples of the buildings during the Rennaissance Period. After exploring the city, have a taste of the risotto alla certosina and the zuppa pavese, which were the specialties of the monks.
