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.

Large erratic boulder with a large cavity in its center, easily accessible by dirt roads.

It allows you to do what you want, that is, speed and relaxation, while admiring some good views.

Between Greggio and San Nazzaro Sesia, the Cavour canal is about to enter the siphon that makes it pass under the Sesia river. Thanks to this little bridge-lock between the fields, it can be crossed with ease.

Road used very little by cars, very pleasant!

A water source runs through the church underground. Looking at the facade, on the right you can see the water flowing. Inside, behind the altar, you can see the underground source.
