Sacro Monte di Orta

Reviewed By K1825UUdavidm - Yellow Springs, United States

It's a bit of a hike up hill from the very lovely town of Orta San Guilia on a glorious lake, Lago d'Orta. This is like a pilgrimage to Saint Francis. There are 15-20 small chapels, each with life-size reproductions of events in the Saint's life. The human figures are remarkeably realistic and life like. It's a very quiet and serene environment and well worth a visit in this most lovely spot in the Lake District of Northern Italy

Basilica di San Gaudenzio

Reviewed By paullegate - St Ives, United Kingdom

The Basilica of San Gaudenzio is a magnificent structure in the centre of Novara with an impressive cupola. The basilica was built between 1577 and 1690 by Pellegrino Tibaldi and is dedicated to Gaudentius of Novara who was the first Christian bishop of the city. The cupola was completed in 1887 and was designed by Alessandro Antonelli who designed the Mole Antonelliana in Turin. It was equally as impressive inside and I stayed for a while because it was so captivating. When I visited in August 2020 there were strict Covid-19 measures in place with the pews being totally sealed off.

San Giulio Island

Reviewed By schmidtmg - Switzerland, null

taking the boat from the main square in Orta San Giulio to San Giulio Island takes less then 5 minutes - the return trip is Euro 4.50. The boat runs every half hour or so. Once on the island, you 're in a peaceful and serene environment. The large monastery dominating the island is not publicly accessible, but the footpath around the island is picturesque - incidentally it is called 'la voie du silence' (trail of silence). Make sure to visit the Basicila di San Giulio, a 13th century church with many (restored) wall and ceiling frescoes...
