Parish church of Novi Velia of medieval origin and Baroque dress, with Criscuolo's polyptych and the statue of the Madonna del Monte.

The Church of Santa Maria dei Longobardi is the parish church of Novi Velia: it has medieval origins and was remodelled in the Baroque period. Some bishops of Capaccio and Vallo who chose Novi as their seat in the 17th and 18th centuries rest here.Inside, we suggest lingering over the polyptych of 1540 by Giovan Filippo Criscuolo with the Adoration of the Magi, a 15th-century panel of the Nativity and the 17th-century statue of the Madonna del Monte, with robes worked in estofado. We like visiting before climbing up to the sanctuary on Monte Gelbison.
