Pavia Audio Tour: Scholars, Saints, and Secrets of the City

Embark on the Pavia Audio Tour: Scholars, Saints, and Secrets of the City

Marble lions glare from the Castello Visconteo and shadowy passageways still echo with secrets—Pavia is more than a city, it’s a stage where power and intrigue once waged battle.

Explore Pavia at your own pace with this self-guided audio tour. Move beyond the postcards to unearth hidden stories, surprising corners, and layers of history most visitors never notice.

Did seditious whispers in the Royal Palace spark a rebellion that almost toppled a throne? What miracle was said to occur within the silent walls of Santa Maria di Canepanova? And why did an ancient chessboard once decide the fate of an entire district?

Trace the threads of glory and heartbreak through stone courtyards, gilded halls, and peaceful chapels. This is more than sightseeing—it’s stepping into the drama beneath Pavia’s quiet beauty.

Let the marble lions watch as you start your own journey through secrets and splendor.
