Church of San Valeriano

Celtic crosses in the Piedmont countryside. A tiny corner of Ireland ☘️

Place of cultural, historical, architectural and tourist interest Via del Castello, 5, 27023 Villanova PV

A town to visit absolutely. In my opinion One of the most beautiful if not the most beautiful in Lomellina. The beauty of the Murals, the originality of the Chimney Sweeps on the roofs of the buildings make you relive atmospheres long forgotten and that you will always remember with a smile. I often go back there by bike and every time I get excited

The church of S. Valeriano was part of an ancient Cluniac priory from the 11th century. The grandeur of its structure is an indication of the importance of its function on the European routes to France and Northern Europe and in the opposite direction to Rome, the so-called “Via Francigena or Romea”.

Medieval monument in Robbio (12th century), it has preserved its simple Romanesque decoration. Entirely in terracotta, it stood near the gate of San Pietro, on the road to Mortara, and there was an adjoining hospital, mentioned in the chronicles as early as the 13th century.

The first documents mentioning it date back to 1440, but the church certainly has an earlier layout, built in the shape of a Latin cross, with three naves.

The town hall was built in 1857 to a design by Pietro Troncone; it was to be completed in 1862 to a design by Alessandro Antonelli, but only a few granite columns were added. Until 1850 the municipality was located in the Palazzo Pretorio located in Piazza Silvabella. A town in the province of Pavia famous for its rice market. Mortara is located in the central-northern Lomellina, between the Agogna and the Terdoppio, among the rice fields, not far from Milan, Novara, Vercelli and Pavia. It is now an important centre for the rice market and is famous for its goose dishes.
