Some of the most interesting monuments to see are the imposing XVI century Castle (that has been restored a lot of times so far) and  the Mother Church dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle, that dates back to the XVII century. The main façade has  a beautiful baroque portal, over which there is the sculpture of an eagle, symbol of the noble family of the Matteis (in fact the church is situated on the territory that once belonged to this noble family). Inside you can admire some well decorated  altars, an elegant wooden choir, a beautiful  font  and wonderful frescos representing holy images. The Church of the Lady of the Bread, also called of Constantinople, was built after a miraculous event in the XVIII century. It was restored  after a fire (1929). The Church of St. Joseph, once dedicated to St, Stephen,  was restored and widened in the XIX century. The Church of the Immaculate was built on the rests of a pre-existing building of the XVIII century. In the XIX century, during the jobs of restoration, an ancient fresco was recovered. The Church of St. Anthony Abbot, dates back to the XIX century. Its façade is simple and the interiors are well decorated: in this church there is a relic of the saint, that was given by the Bishop of Tricarico, Monsignor Raffaele  Delle Nocche to the inhabitants of Novoli. The small Church of St. Biagio  (1645) is very simple   and  in  1883 it was demolished and then rebuilt.  The Chapel of the Lady  of the Good Counsel was built in  1842 and it was commissioned by Marianna Tarantini. It is small and the simplicity of the facade mirrors that of the interiors. The Church and the Convent of the  Passionisti Fathers were built at the end of  the XIX century to house there fathers, that arrived here in 1984 and were received well by the population of Novoli. Outside  the inhabited centre there are some farms such as Aria Noa Farm. The protectors of Novoli are St. Anthony Abbot and the Lady of the Bread, that are celebrated, the former on January 17th  and the latter on  the third Sunday of July.

The inhabitants of Novoli have three nicknames :  "trapulini," facce te quatari" and "nasi uddati." The first nickname means "tricksters" : in the past most of them  were good merchants, who are usually considered a bit cheat, so the people of Novoli were called "trapulini". The second nickname means " pot faces": once the pots were put directly on the fire of the fireplaces, so the bottom was black as the skin of the Novolesi. The last nickname means "closed noses" because the people of this small town  have got a nasal voice, so they sound ridiculous when they speak.
