ニッビオーラのおすすめツーリングルート

The Abbey of San Nazzaro Sesia is a complex made up of structures from different historical periods. The oldest parts are the bell tower, built as a watchtower, and the two wings of the narthex preceding the façade, which are what remains of the quadriportico built around 1150, shortly after the abbey itself was founded (1040). The cuts resulting from the demolition of the other two sides are still clearly visible today. The narthex is almost entirely made up of stones from the Sesia river arranged in a herringbone pattern to increase its solidity. The mortar itself was obtained from materials found on site, near the Sesia river. It was probably originally used as a “hospitalis”, that is, it served as a place of rest and refreshment for travellers and pilgrims, who we know were very numerous in medieval times, and it also had the function of hosting catechumens.

An authentic corner of the countryside between Garbagna Novarese and the Lomellina rice paddies. Dirt roads, canals reflecting the sky 💧, and old farmhouses immersed in rural silence 🌿. Ideal for gravel biking or peaceful trekking, where the landscape changes with the light and time seems to slow down. 🌅

Immersed in the greenery of the rice fields

The chirch is impressive, doesn't matter to have double highlight

Basilica of San Gaudenzio - you can see this church from a great distance, it shines above the rooftops and the other churches in the city. A guide to it. And when you are inside, you understand its height. Look up and be amazed at what has been built here.
