It has become very popular thanks to it’s a true Gothic style façade and its openwork pinnacles that are punctuated by a grove of spires, topped with statues that overlook the city. The huge building is made of brick faced with marble from the Candoglia quarries, on the Lake Maggiore. From the Northern arcades it is possible to see the well-known Vittorio Emanuele II open gallery.
