Novara
This is a city with a historic centre that deserves to be explored. It is brimming with elegant palaces ranging from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, with small squares and cobbled streets dominated by the imposing Basilica of San Gaudenzio, the dome of which is the symbol of the city (and is also visible from one of our vineyards in Mezzomerico). Also worth a visit are the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Broletto, which houses the Civic Museum.
The flat landscape south of Novara, known as the “Bassa” (Lowland), is particularly suitable for cycling routes between rice fields, canals and historic farmhouses. Even the hills that surround the historic villages can be visited by bike, by passing through woods and pleasant landscapes.
