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.

In 1509 the Chapel of Saint Sebastian was chosen as a burial place by students of the University of Pavia from France, Flanders and German-speaking countries.

[3] In 1811, the relics of the Blessed Bernardine of Feltre, which were initially kept in the monastery of San Giacomo della Vernavola in Pavia, were brought to the church.

[4] The church has an imposing façade commanding the square with the same name; the slender forms betray a residual Romanesque influence, although the decorations are undoubutably of Lombard Gothic style.

[11] The interior is characterized by an inspiring penumbra, and is on the Latin cross plan with a nave and numerous lateral chapels with frescoes and paintings.

The most important are: In the apse wall, above the altar there is a polychrome stained glass window depicting the Madonna enthroned with the Child, made between 1482 and 1489.

During the restoration in 1989, the fifteenth-century tile, placed in the center, with the Madonna enthroned and the Child was inserted in a new frame, a rhombus electric blue with rounded corners in turn inscribed in the large circle of the rose window with modern geometric motifs.

[21] In the transept on the left wall there are numerous and precious votive frescoes attributed to the circle of Michelino da Besozzo and dated between the first and fourth decade of the fifteenth century, and an altarpiece by Bernardino Lanzani with the Child Jesus between the Madonna, the SS.

[22] On the right side wall of the transept there is the facade, rich in Baroque stuccoes, of the sacristy (1576), built by Count Camillo Pietra.
