Holiday apartment in Sillavengo: Churches, Castles and Trails
Accommodation in Sillavengo
Sillavengo among Churches, Castles and Trails
Sillavengo offers you a culturally oriented starting point for a trip where historic buildings and regional trails bring together a variety of interests. A small Roman granite altar can still be found beside the Chiesa di San Giovanni. The Chiesa di Santa Maria Nova was probably built by the De' Capitaneis noble family as an oratory toward the end of the 14th century. The Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria delle Grazie appears today in 19th-century forms, but dates back to the 16th century.
Historic Places with Stories of Their Own
Al Castello also adds to the picture of the local architectural heritage. The historic manor house was built between the 16th and 17th centuries and originally belonged to the Caccia family. The large Sala Grande, also known as the Sala delle Colonne, is now used for weddings, events and ceremonies. This creates a travel theme for you that ranges from religious buildings to grand historic rooms.
Another focus is on the regional routes. The “Vie verdi dell'acqua – Fontane (Percorso 9)” trail leads to Sillavengo via the SP15 and highlights the Chiesa di Santa Maria Nova. A tourist route from Novara to Carpignano also passes through Sillavengo and connects villages and old castles in the eastern Novara Sesia region. Those who like to structure a trip around places, trails and culture will find various thematic starting points here for their own planning.
