The Basilica of San Giulio is recognised as one of the most important Romanesque churches of the province of Novara. Constructed in the 9th Century on the former site of the hermit’s cell, it was changed and restored in the 11th and 17th Century, though much of what you see today is from the 11th Century when the campanile was also built. The Basilica has beautiful artwork and architecture, with pride of place given to an ‘ambo’ (black pulpit) in black Oira marble dating from the 11th or 12th Century.
