Try it! - We faced the ascent to the dome and spire on a particularly clear day, and this allowed us to appreciate a breathtaking 360-degree panorama: the Alpine arc with the Monte Rosa massif covered by the first snows, the skyscrapers of Milan, the city of Novara at our feet.
Very competent and communicative the young man who acted as our Guide, and who presented us in detail the phases of the project and construction. His colleague who closed the group gave us directions to climb safely; overall a fascinating and exciting experience.

Show at 100 meters high!!! - It was a very pleasant surprise, the dome is really beautiful, the climb is definitely important but the organization of the visit makes it easy to face without major problems. I will definitely recommend it.

450 steps, manageable with 3-4 stops along the way - rewarded with incredible views! - An incredible opportunity to learn about the history of the Novara and to take in some INCREDIBLE views! Highly recommending booking tickets online, in advance. The climb is accompanied by two guides - and don't worry - even though there are 450 small, winding, vertical steps --it is done in stages! There are about 3-4 "stops" on the way up to learn about the history of each of the successive domes, the architecture , the architect etc! Pack light - the only thing you are allowed to take up is your phone - which they will encase in a protective plastic covering to wear around your neck. There are lockers available at check in to store a purse or small backpack. And the views - just get better and better the higher you climb. Highly recommend.

A spire and its architecture! Really interesting and engaging!!! - Wonderful experience. Very interesting place, friendly and very competent guide. We had an experience in Vicoforte, for my taste this is better. The information and explanations were very helpful!!! The evaluation of Antonelli's work is truly complete! Absolutely recommendable!

GREAT ANTONELLI, COSMIC SPIRIT. - absolutely not to be missed, the young people who welcomed us were very good and in particular to the young lady who accompanied us during the climb, praise for her professionalism and preparation in this regard, ANTONELLI WAS A GENIUS OF OLD TIMES. OR PERHAPS TIMELESS.

Breathtaking view with professional, trained and friendly guides. - We visited the dome of San Gaudenzio up to the top. Very pleasant visit lasting a couple of hours, with complete explanation and carefully applied safety rules. Fantastic views, fascinating history, non-tiring and reassuring climb in the sense that the guides (one at the head of the group and the other at the back) they put you at ease by reassuring any fearful participants. CONGRATULATIONS to Sofia and Matthias. Thanks Fabio & Patrizia.

NOVARA QUOTE 100! - A very interesting visit with helpful and kind escorts. I participated in the climb to the spire of San Gaudenzio from which you can enjoy a beautiful panorama of Novara and the surrounding plain up to Milan and the surrounding mountains. The climb is pleasant, accompanied by explanations and anecdotes about its construction. Definitely a recommended tour!
