Whilst the Basilica di San Gaudenzio is often considered to be the main religious structure in Novara, the Duomo di Novara is just as important and features a Neoclassical design.

Located in the heart of the historic town centre next to the Teatro Coccia, the front façade of this church looks more like a Roman temple – several stone columns support a triangular pediment, and this columned design continues down the side of the Piazza della Republica.

Inside the church, the ceiling is supported by several rows of dark columns and the central altar has a huge golden cross and some beautiful artwork.
