Certosa di Pavia is a historic monastery complex situated in the province of Pavia, Lombardy. Founded in 1396 by Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan, it represents one of the most significant examples of Gothic-Renaissance architecture in Italy.

The monastery complex combines various architectural styles, from late Gothic to Renaissance, featuring elaborate marble work, sculptures, and frescoes. Originally built as a private chapel and mausoleum for the Visconti family, it later became home to Carthusian monks. The complex includes the church, the monastery buildings, and extensive grounds.

Today, while part of the complex is still home to a monastic community, significant portions are open to visitors, allowing them to explore its rich artistic and architectural heritage. The site serves as an important cultural landmark that reflects the artistic and religious developments of northern Italy during the Renaissance period.
