Junction of three railway lines - the Milan-Genoa trunk, the Voghera-Piacenza branch, and the Voghera-Varzi mountain route - Voghera grew in the nineteenth century as a transport node connecting Lombardy's plains with the Ligurian coast. The town has about 38,464 inhabitants and lies in the Province of Pavia, at the point where the flat Po Valley gives way to the first hills of the Oltrepo Pavese, one of Lombardy's principal wine-producing districts. Barbera, Bonarda, and Pinot Nero from the surrounding slopes supply both local trattorias and export markets.
Piazza del Duomo and the sixteenth-century Collegiata di San Lorenzo form the centre of town, flanked by a grid of streets that still follows the Roman castrum layout. The Castello Visconteo, rebuilt in the fourteenth century, now serves municipal functions. Pavia lies about 35 kilometres to the north, and Milan roughly 70 kilometres by road or around one hour by regional train. The Oltrepo Pavese hills rise toward the Ligurian Apennines immediately south of town, offering cycling routes, agriturismi, and cellars open for tastings.
