From Milan to the Charterhouse of Pavia

from IN-LOMBARDIA.IT

The twenty-fifth day of the Saint Augustine's Way begins at the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan and includes visits to the Augustinian Shrine of Santa Rita, also in Milan, and the Shrine of Santa Maria delle Grazie at the historic Certosa di Pavia.

The initial transit of the towpath of the Naviglio Grande is quite picturesque; the route leads the pilgrim to the Shrine of Santa Rita in the Barona district and then to the towpath of the Naviglio Pavese.

Proceeding south, after a few kilometers of towpath and in the middle of the Lombard plain, the monumental Certosa di Pavia is already visible in the distance.
