Things to do in Arona Italy – what to see attractions and activities

The Romanesque religious building, dating from the 11th century, is located on a small hill, near the ancient Via Francigena. It has a single nave, with a semicircular apse covered by a semicatino in masonry. In the chapel we can admire frescoes of rare beauty that decorate the apse and the triumphal arch.

The Museum 'How We Were' was established in 1992 in the former Palazzo Bono. The countless objects on display were collected by Dino Cerutti di Borgomanero and other collaborators. The Museum offers detailed reconstructions of the peasant environments from kitchens to bedrooms.

The Villa was completed in 1897: despite its imaginative and exuberant design did not fail to "give scandal to the people of good taste", Villa Crespi has now become part of the scenery of Lake Orta.

Built in the seventeenth century. The facade looks towards the lake, allowing a wonderful view of Pella, Ronco and of the Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso. It is the present site of the Municipality of Orta.

275 meters long and 140 wide, it is located about 400 meters from the shore. The island is dominated by the Seminary, built in 1844 on the ruins of the castle.

The Archaeological Museum is among the few in the province that collects ancient objects of peasant use in everyday life that concern the city culture. All archaeological finds are arranged in chronological order and are in good condition. The purpose of this museum is to present the culture of the place and to make the local people more active and participate.

It was the site of the ancient Roman walls and used the moat of the old city walls for its defense. The castle was modified several times, but always maintained its military structure and function of the administrative domain of Novara.

The Museum of Religious Art takes its name from the founder priest Father Augusto Mozzetti. The priest strongly wanted to set up the same museum in 1970 in order to preserve and enhance the works of art of the Olegese territory arrived from the churches in the surroundings and that belong to the period from the 15th to the 19th century. The property is located inside the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. The museum offers a rich history, art and devotion of the country.
