Chiesa Del Carmine, Pavia
Santa Maria del Carmine is a church in Pavia, Lombardy, northern Italy, considered amongst the best examples of Lombard Gothic architecture. It was begun in 1374 by Gian Galeazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan, on a project attributed to Bernardo da Venezia. The construction followed a slow pace, and was restarted in 1432, being finished in 1461. History Starting from 1373 the Carmelites started the construction of the new church which lasted for over a century. In 1390 Gian Galeazzo donated a large donation for the construction of the church, however, again in the same years, the beginning of the construction of the Certosa di Pavia caused a slowdown in the works, because many workers were attracted to the new construction site.
