Novara — Basilica di San Gaudenzio

Piedmont

San Gaudenzio's unusual, tapering brick dome, added in the 19th century, rises well above the rest of Novara's skyline and is visible from far out on the surrounding rice-growing plain. The streets around it in the historic centre are flat and level, easy walking distinct from the region's hillier wine towns.
