Churches, Art and History in the Townscape
The Parrocchia Santa Maria Vergine Assunta also stands in the heart of the historic centre. Its façade is designed in the Neoclassical style.
The Chiesa di San Francesco was consecrated in 1514, after an earlier chapel dedicated to Santa Barbara had been remodelled. The presbytery contains frescoes by Cerano depicting Saul’s fall and the restoration of Saul’s sight. The Oratorio del Gonfalone is located next to the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta and preserves an altarpiece created by Cerano, dating from the period after 1617. Under the House of Savoy, Trecate was historically a border town between Piedmont and Lombardy; a bridge and a customs office were established at the crossing over the Ticino.
Villa Cicogna and Green Spaces
Villa Cicogna is an example of 18th-century architecture and has housed the municipal library since 2002. Parco Cicogna surrounds the villa and includes a green area with play facilities and large trees. The park also includes the Cortile delle Magnolie and an Italian-style garden.
Exploring the Sentiero Novara
Stage 9 of the Sentiero Novara is a greenway that begins at the Ponte Ticino di San Martino in Trecate and ends in Galliate. Most of the stage runs through the Parco Naturale del fiume Ticino. For planning a day trip, the starting point in Trecate and the destination in Galliate provide two clear reference points along this stage.
Festivals, Theatre and Regional Cuisine
Sagra dell’Anatra features stuffed duck; the recipe has been awarded the De.Co. designation. The events calendar also has its own highlights: the Fiera Agricola e Artigiana 2026 is scheduled for 20 September 2026 from 09:00 to 18:00 in Trecate. Celebrations in honour of the town’s patron saints Cassian and Clement are announced for the period from 18 September to 21 September.
The Cine Teatro Silvio Pellico has 499 seats in the stalls and the balcony. The division between the stalls and the balcony structures the auditorium on two levels; the scheduled Sunday time provides a clear timeframe. As part of the Sipario Aperto programme, free theatre events for the public, particularly older people, were scheduled there on Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m.
