The Alata Vittoria monument in the Allea di San Luca in Novara, large and impressive.

Palazzo Natta is an ancient historical-noble palace in the city of Novara, in Piedmont. Today it houses the Province of Novara and the prefecture. In the place, already in Roman times near the Cardo (corresponding to the Cavour and Mazzini courses) and the Decumanus (corresponding to the Cavallotti and Italia courses), there was the aristocratic district of the city in the Middle Ages, called Contrada delle torri lunghe. Around the 13th century the Counts Caccia di Mandello and Castellazzo, a noble and ancient family from Novara, built their residence there, of which the civic tower with the clock is preserved today; documented as early as 1268 and called Torre grande. Later the building was acquired by the Natta d'Alfiano and Natta Isola di Casale families, who rebuilt and enlarged it between the 16th and 18th centuries. The main project of 1580 is attributed to the famous architect Pellegrino Tibaldi, who composed a square-plan palace centered on the internal porticoed courtyard and with a rear garden aligned perspectively on the main axis of the building. The courtyard, surrounded by a portico on Doric columns, has a compass rose made with river pebbles on the pavement, also repeated in the garden. A monumental staircase leads to the first floor, where the rooms are decorated with frescoes by the painter De Giorgi. After the unification of Italy, the palace was raised by one floor and the two final ramps were added to the staircase. The garden, restored in 1998, is centered on a fountain in pink Baveno marble and is closed by an eighteenth-century exedra in rocaille style that frames a trompe-l'œil. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Natta

The Church of Monserrato is located on the central Corso Cavour. Its façade is simple and unobtrusive, with neoclassical elements. The current building is the result of various interventions over the centuries and therefore incorporates elements from different styles and eras. The oldest furnishings and paintings date back to the end of the 16th century, while the main altar dates back to the Baroque period.

The church of San Marco is a Catholic place of worship in the city of Novara, in Piedmont. With its sumptuous interior, it represents a good example of the Baroque. The church was founded in 1607 at the behest of Bishop Carlo Bascapè, former secretary of Carlo Borromeo, on the site of a pre-existing small oratory called San Marchino. The project seems to be by the architect and Barnabite father Lorenzo Binago who conceived a building with a Latin cross plan, a single nave with six side chapels and a rectangular dome. He erected it by 1617. In 1634 the convent was added to the church, Bascapè's intention was in fact to establish a college of higher studies for the Clerics Regular of San Paolo in Novara. The building was completed and consecrated only in 1691 when it was assigned to the Barnabite Fathers. The interior features a sumptuous baroque decoration made using red marble, statuary porphyry, patinated wood, gilding and stucco. The frescoes on the vault of the apse and the dome depict God the Father blessing and the Glory of St. John the Evangelist; in the vaults the Evangelists and the Sibyls. Works carried out between 1613 and 1615 by Moncalvo Bascapé's attention initially turned to the chapel dedicated to San Carlo, one of the earliest dedicated to the saint canonized in 1610 together with that of the Church of San Paolo Converso in Milan of the Angelic Sisters of St. Paul. The task of the decoration should have been assigned to Cerano, however, already busy in Milan, so Guglielmo Caccia was chosen. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_di_San_Marco_(Novara)

The "Faraggiana Ferrandi" Natural History Museum is located in Novara and can be visited free of charge. It is the second largest natural science museum in Piedmont after the Regional Museum of Natural Sciences in Turin. The museum is located in the historic center of Novara inside the Palazzo Faraggiana, a building dating back to the 19th century whose internal courtyards host an educational garden with native plants and a small artificial pond with the reconstruction of a marshy environment. The palace remained the property of the Faraggiana family until 1937, when it was purchased by the Municipality of Novara. The main nucleus of the collection comes from the Faraggiana family collection, in particular from Catherine Faraggiana Ferrandi and her son Alessandro Faraggiana Ferrandi, a passionate explorer with numerous expeditions to Africa and Asia. The two created a small zoo and a museum inside the park of Villa Faraggiana in Meina which were sold to the municipality of Novara. Since 1959 they have been located in the Palazzo Faraggiana together with the civic scientific collections. The zoological collection includes almost 2,500 specimens of stuffed animals, of which over 450 are on display to the public. Of particular note are a snow leopard, the lesser panda, the musk ox and the eared pheasant. The ethnographic collection of Ugo Ferrandi was added to the zoological collection. The naturalistic collection is completed by two entomological collections with almost 10,000 specimens. A small collection of minerals and a historical herbarium of native plants complete the collection. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museo_di_storia_naturale_Faraggiana_Ferrandi

The Barriera Albertina was a customs barrier of the city of Novara. Today (2021) it hosts cultural, social and artistic exhibitions and conferences. The two buildings have a square plan, with a single floor, with a flat roof. The facades have a hexastyle pronaos of the Doric order, surmounted by a tympanum. The external walls are characterized by a smooth ashlar, interrupted by simple Doric pilasters, which intersperse the architraved windows. The appearance is sober and essential, measured in proportions, aligned with neoclassical canons. The sculptural decoration was entrusted to Giuseppe Argenti, a member of the school of Pompeo Marchesi, author in turn of the statue of Carlo Emanuele III in via Puccini. Argenti chose the subjects according to the indications of the historian Francesco Antonio Bianchini, to cover the building with significant figures and reliefs. On the tympanum of the two pronaos was placed a relief with two female figures, symmetrical, holding the royal and city insignia: this represents the close relationship between the Savoy interventions and urban development. On the sides of the vestibule, on the main facades, are the personifications of Royal Charity, Gratitude, Agriculture and Commerce. Initially there were also two statues placed on the supporting pillars of the wrought iron gate: the representations of Concord and Vigilance. In the upper part of the western façade of each building are the following inscriptions, both designed by the historian Francesco Antonio Bianchini: KAROLO ALBERTO REGI NOSTRO PATRI P. on the north building, O.P.Q. NOVARIENSIS MDCCCXXXVII D.D. on the south building. The gate was designed by the artist Pelagio Palagi, already author of the gate of the Royal Palace in Turin. Later it was, together with the two statues, moved to the monument to Carlo Alberto, in Piazza del Rosario (Piazza Gramsci). After the destruction of this monument, in September 1944, the statues were finally destined for the entrance to the cemetery, where they still are today. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barriera_Albertina
