Seminario Vescovile di Pavia

A house of brotherhood, faith and culture in the heart of the city,
in the ancient monastery of Santa Maria Teodote.

Welcome

Here the seminarians of the Diocese of Pavia live and are formed, and young people, university students and anyone looking for a place of encounter and spirituality come together.

We open the cloister, the library, and the spaces of the monumental complex to reveal a beauty that belongs to the entire city.
