An edict issued by the
Frankish king of Italy Lothar I
(ruled 818-55) mentions the
existence of a higher
education institution at Pavia
as early as AD 825. This
institution, mainly devoted to
ecclesiastical and civil law as
well as to divinity studies, was
then selected as the prime
educational centre for northern
Italy. Officially established as
a studium generale by the
Holy Roman emperor Charles
IV (r. 1355-78) in 1361, the
institution was enlarged and
renovated by the duke of
Milan, Gian Galeazzo Visconti
(ruled 1385-1402), becoming
the Duchy's sole university.

The Visconti Castle, which was built for Gian Galeazzo Visconti

The northern side of the castle with its two towers was destroyed by the artillery
of Francis I in 1527. The three still existing wings show several kinds of windows
in the first floor loggia looking onto the inner yard and they refer back to the
restorations made during the first century of life of the building. In the castle
there was also a large library with miniated codexes and some Petrarch’s
manuscripts and an astronomic clock showing the motion of all known planets.
