Monuments
Pavia's most famous landmark is the Certosa, or Carthusian monastery, founded in 1396. Among other notable structures are the cathedral; the Romanesque St. Michael's Church and St. Peter's Church (where Saint Augustine is buried) both 12th century; and the large fortified Castello Visconteo (14th?15th centuries). Pavia's university was founded in 1361. The collapse of Pavia's Civic Tower on March 17, 1989 was the final motivating force that started the last decade's efforts to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa from a similar fate.
