Rocca di Novara

It resembles a Dolomites peak and because of this and the panoramic view from its summit it is a popular mountain with tourists.

A summit cross with a figure of Jesus lies at its top.

An annual pilgrimage to the summit is made by Christians on 18 August to celebrate a mass.

Pits used by ancient people to collect snow for the summer remain on its slopes.

The walls of the mountain resemble a human face from a particular point of view and the ancient legend of buried treasure on it, discoverable by those who pass a series of trials, gives it an air of mystery.
