Very interesting church to visit, the alter is unusually to accommodate the crypt underneath, beautifully decorated inside, well worth a visit.

The Church of San Teodoro, a Romanesque building which has a really interesting fresco in the interior showing a view of the city during the 16th century.

This church is incredible. The reach it, you need to find it, walking from narrow streets, it feels like a labyrinth. Reach it is part of the magic of this place: no many people in a quite area, when you enter you discover a small church with many affresco representing Pavia’s history and more.
