Church of San Vittore

The most ancient building, dating back to the 10^th-11^th century, was a single-nave chapel with an apse facing east: of it we can still recognize the stone-roofed semicircular apse and the gable roof of the small nave, including Roman bricks, whose profile is still visible inside the later walls of the current Baptistry Chapel; the entrance should have been on the western side, in correspondence of a room with under floor burials, currently used as a chapel, where a recent restoration recovered some 16^th century frescoes. During the 14^th-15^th century, the building was enlarged, maintaining the same orientation and adding two chapels on the short sides (of the Virgin, with 17^th century colored stuccos, and of the fishermen and Apostles Peter and Andrew). Finally, in the 17^th century, a radical transformation occurred, throughout a further enlargement of the building, which had its orientation changed, moving the altar to the south and the entrance to the north. It was also added an outdoor porch and an upper room with the bellows of the organ. The new bays have rib vaults and a polygonal chancel with late 19^th century frescoes depicting the life of the Christ, water and fishermen. Particularly noteworthy are the wooden pulpit and the large altar in gilded wood, with a tempietto, the central group of the Pietà and silver busts of the four patron Saints of the Diocese of Novara.
