Novara - Cascina San Maiolo: San Maiolo was an abbot of the abbey of Cluny, the same to say that the farming tradition of the cascina dates back to the beginning of the second millennium, in the Middle Ages, and continues today.

• Vespolate - Parish Church of Saints John the Baptist and Antonio Abate: The Parish Church was built in 1772 on the remains of an ancient oratory of the 16th century, undergoing modifications in 1827. Exquisite frescoes and paintings dating back to the 16th century, are present inside.
• Vespolate - Pieve of San Giovanni Battista: Situated in the countryside, along the road that leads to Tornaco, the Pieve, mentioned in a document of 1024, presents a single nave with semi-circular apse. The frescoes that embellish the pieve date back to the second half of the fifteenth century. Of great artistic interest is the altarpiece of the altar, which depicts the Virgin Mary with Child, between St. Augustine, St. John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, and St. Francis of Assisi.

• Borgolavezzaro - Cascina Caccia: The rural complex was built in the 16^th century by the noble family of  Conti Caccia from Novara. It is the typical Cascina with large courtyard surrounded by buildings in which decorative traces of the Baroque era are still visible. To point out is an ancient mill equipped with rice track and the enchanting dormitory that hosted thousands of mondine (rice weeders) who worked until the 1960s.
• Borgolavezzaro – Nature Reserve: Set up thanks to the Association Burchvif with the purpose of preserving the habitats typical of the Po Valley, it extends over a surface area of close to two hectares. Today, it presents itself like a botanic garden with shrubs, trees and flowers fully marked, not only with the appropriate botanic terminology, but also in dialect.
• Tornaco - Villa Marzoni and Museum of Civilization and Culture of the Lower Novarese : the building rises on the remains of the ancient castle dating back to the 15^th century. The current 19^th century manor house is home to the Museum of Civilisation and Culture of the Lower Novarese.
