The Church of Sant'Eusebio was a church in Pavia, of which only the crypt remains today. Built as an Arian cathedral by King Rothari (636-652), it later became an important place of conversion to Catholicism for the Lombards. The crypt of Sant'Eusebio is one of the two proto-Romanesque crypts in Pavia, together with that of S. Giovanni Domnarum. The crypt is divided into five naves by slender columns supporting cross vaults. The capitals of the columns are truncated pyramid-shaped and reproduce various motifs. Together with the cycle of Romanesque frescoes that decorate the vaults, they constitute the most interesting elements of the crypt.
