The castle of Novi Ligure is located near the historic center of Novi Ligure and was for centuries the extreme northern border of the Republic of Genoa. It is part of the "Open Castles" circuit of Lower Piedmont. Only the tower and some sections of the surrounding walls remain of the castle, which today delimit part of the large park. It was crowned by a Ghibelline battlement which has been lost but is still perceptible, despite the current covering with a tile roof.

The Castle of Pozzolo Formigaro stands on top of an alluvial terrace overlooking the plain. Building of medieval origin, it was built around the 11th century as a defensive fortress on the plain. The entrance front, from the Sforza era, retains the carriage door and the grooves for the drawbridge. Today the municipal seat, it presents inside, in the fifteenth century wing, the fifteenth century frescoes created by the Tortona school of the brothers Franceschino and Manfredino Boxilio (Madonna with Child, Saint Lucia, Saint Biagio, Saint Francis), "torn" from the Church of S. Sebastiano (today of Nostra Signora delle Ghiare) and a wooden Madonna dating back to the 15th century

The Museum of the Champions is dedicated to two legends of Italian sport, Costante Girardengo and Fausto Coppi. Both lived most of their lives in Novi (Girardengo was also born there, in 1893) and have always been very much in love with their homelands. Although it is a nickname that became famous thanks to Coppi between the 1940s and 1950s, the first "Campionissimo" of Italian sport was Girardengo, winner of two Tours of Italy, six Milan-San Remo and three Tours of Lombardy.
