Basilica di Sant'Andrea, Minor basilica in Vercelli, Italy.
The basilica displays architectural elements from Lombard Romanesque and French Gothic styles, featuring twin bell towers and three recessed portals with marble decorations.
Cardinal Guala Bicchieri initiated the construction in 1219, incorporating design elements from his experiences in England during his diplomatic mission for the Catholic Church.
The wooden choir from 1511 contains 24 inlaid panels depicting liturgical objects, urban landscapes, and representations of Saint Andrew created by craftsman Paolo Saccani.
The basilica maintains regular visiting hours throughout the week, with guided tours explaining the architectural features, artworks, and historical significance of this religious monument.
The octagonal lantern at the intersection of the transept rises above the structure, crowned by a gallery and spire that demonstrate medieval engineering techniques.
