Novara

城市概覽

Novara is not a city of particular attraction to tourists, nor can it be defined as a "city of art", nevertheless it preserves interesting artistic and architectural treasures such as the bold dome of the Basilica of San Gaudenzio, the symbol of the city, and the early Christian baptistery. Its duomo is one of the oldest religious buildings in Piedmont.

如何抵達

By plane Milan Malpensa International Airport is about 35 km away.

By train Novara is about 40 minutes by train from Milan central station. The city is served by three railway stations:

Vignale FS, a small station operated by the Ferrovie dello Stato (regional trains) Novara FS, the principal station of the Ferrovie dello Stato, Italy's national railway (regional, national and international trains). Novara Nord, the station operated by the LeNord railway in via Leonardo da Vinci. It serves regional and high-speed trains.

By car Novara is linked to Turin and Milan by the A4 motorway (via the junctions Novara Ovest and Novara Est). The A26 motorway crosses most of Novara province, but there is not a junction that links it directly with Novara. To reach Novara from the A26, one must exit at Vercelli Est, but one can also reach Novara by way of the A4, which crosses the A26 at a junction. Novara is served by a system of dual-carriageway bypasses. The S11 trunk road from Milan and Magenta passes through Novara on its way to Vercelli and Turin. Trunk roads to the north and south also link Novara to the motorway network.

當地交通

The historic centre of the city has an almost pentagonal shape and is mostly surrounded by "bastions", tree-lined avenues that have taken the place of the ancient walls that surrounded the city. The two main arteries are Corso Cavour-Corso Mazzini, with a north-south direction, and Corso Italia-Corso Cavallotti, with an east-west direction, corresponding to the route of the ancient Roman Cardo and Decumano.

必看景點

The old urban core makes up the Historic Centre. Novara once had an encircling wall, which was demolished to permit urban development. Of the old wall there remains only the Barriera Albertina, a complex of two neo-classical buildings that constituted the gate of entry to the city, the required passageway for those who traveled from Turin to Milan. After their removal, the walls were replaced by the present-day baluardi, the broad, tree-lined boulevards that surround the Historic Centre. 1 Basilica of San Gaudenzio, Via Gaudenzio Ferrari. It was designed by Pellegrino Tibaldi and was built on the highest point of the city starting in 1590. Among the artistic works preserved, the most significant is the large two-storey polyptych by Gaudenzio Ferrari, made in 1516. On the side of the church stands the 18th-century bell tower designed by Benedetto Alfieri, 92 m high. The most interesting element, however, is the neoclassical dome designed by Alessandro Antonelli, which has become the symbol of the city of Novara. It was built between 1844 and 1878 and masterfully grafted onto a church of 300 years earlier. The dome is 126 m high, weighs over 5500 tons and is built entirely of brick. On the cusp there is a golden statue of Christ, a fiberglass copy of the original preserved inside the basilica. €8 to climb to the dome.

2 Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta), Piazza della Repubblica. The cathedral of Novara, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, was designed and built by Alessandro Antonelli in the second half of the 19th century by demolishing the previous Romanesque cathedral consecrated in 1132, of which the mosaic floor of the presbytery remains. 3 Baptistery of the Cathedral, Piazza della Repubblica. The early Christian baptistery was probably built between the 4th and 5th centuries and represents the oldest religious building in the city as well as one of the oldest in Piedmont. The building has an octagonal base and internally preserves 11th century frescoes d
