The basilica of Sant'Andrea was built in just nine years, between 1219 and 1227. Consider a masterpiece this Church is an understatement: it is in fact one of the first buildings in Italy to present typical of Romanesque elements harmoniously intertwined in those of Gothic.

Cloister of St. Andrew's Basilica

Cloister of St. Andrew's Basilica

The Cloister of the Abbey of St. Andrew is characterized by arches supported the center by groups of four columns that give great agility to architecture. Vaults, refined terracotta decorations and the large window on the eastern side of the cloister dating back to the 1500s.

Cathedral of St. Eusebius

Cathedral of St. Eusebius

It contains one of the most important shrines of Italy. Impressive also the mortuary of the Savoy Chapel. To be seen. The present church of St. Eusebius of Vercelli Cathedral was rebuilt in 1570 by Cardinal Guido Ferrero on pre-existing early Christian basilica. It dates back to 1581 by the discovery of the saint's body, still preserved in the Cathedral.

Even more remarkable is the monumental Romanesque crucifix (X century) made of wood covered with a silver foil embossed on the front.

Church of St. Christopher

Church of St. Christopher

The Church of St. Christopher was built in the 16th century and restored in the mid-18th century. It is located in Via San Cristoforo. What makes it so valuable and appreciated are the frescoes by Gaudenzio Ferrari (~ 1480/1546). The original building remained only the apse and the base, while the rest of the structure has been modified several times during the eighteenth century.
