Holiday apartment in Fara Novarese: Culture, Landscapes and Regional Destinations

Archaeology and Sacred Art

The archaeological heritage of Fara Novarese includes Roman tombs containing pottery, glass vessels, silver and gold rings, as well as coins from the Roman period. Those interested in culture can consider the Roman tombs as an archaeological connection to the area and the fresco as a sacred work from 1628 separately. This results in two distinct focal points for thematic planning: the Roman tombs with their groups of finds, and the fresco and granite urn within the sacred context.

The objects found during excavations in Fara Novarese are located in the Archaeological Department of the municipal museums of Novara. The finds are therefore in Novara, while the two church-related sites belong to Fara Novarese. The Chiesa della Beata Vergine Addolorata, also known as “Madonna dei Campi”, provides a distinctive sacred highlight: it contains a large fresco from 1628 depicting the Madonna, the Christ Child, the Three Magi and Saint Dominic. The year 1628 places the fresco in the 17th century. A granite urn is also located at the Chiesa di San Pietro e San Paolo al Cimitero.

The Wider Surrounding Region

The wider surrounding region of Fara Novarese includes the “Come Eravamo” Museum, Castello degli Avogadro, Castello di Buronzo and Palazzo Bellini. For regional cultural planning, you can consider the “Come Eravamo” Museum, Castello degli Avogadro, Castello di Buronzo and Palazzo Bellini alongside the church-related sites, while viewing this area separately from the local sacred themes.

Caves, Beach Locations and a July Festival

The wider surrounding region of Fara Novarese also includes Grotte di Ara, the Montefenera Caves, Spiaggia dei Caravalle and Spiaggia del Sasso Cavallazzo. For days focused on landscapes, caves and beach locations can be considered as separate themes. For landscape planning, Grotte di Ara and the Montefenera Caves can be distinguished as cave destinations from the beach destinations Spiaggia dei Caravalle and Spiaggia del Sasso Cavallazzo.

The patron saint's festival of Fara Novarese is dedicated to San Damiano and takes place on the first Sunday in July. This fixed date may be relevant when planning your trip if you would like to include festival culture as part of your stay.
