About
A beautiful chapel on the hills of the Oltrepò Pavese claims to contain the tomb of King Edward II of England.
This medieval hermitage, founded by Saint Albert of Butrio around 1030, has offered hospitality to religious pilgrims for centuries. But it's the unusual and unadorned tomb that brings out flocks of curious researchers. The outside of the hermitage, made of stone and wood, is simple. It mirrors the style of other churches in the high part of Oltrepò. Along one exterior wall you can find a small hollow, where legend says lies the tomb of an English king.
