Certosa di Pavia Description
North of Pavia (10km/6mi), on the road to Milan, is the Certosa di Pavia, the most famous Carthusian house after the Grande Chartreuse near Grenoble, founded by Gian Galeazzo Visconti in 1396, suppressed in 1784, but reoccupied between 1843 and 1881 and again since 1968. A tour of the monastery needs the permission of the Soprintendenza ai Monumenti di Milano. At the entrance is a good restaurant. To the south is the Foresteria, built about 1625 to accommodate distinguished visitors (museum, with pictures, etc.).
