The 50 best churches in Turin

Nice Basilica to visit. Spectacular view from top of the mountain. I'm not a football fan so I haven't heard about Turin's team tragic aircraft crash near by. So it was something new to find out and learn. Speaking about Basilica's open time it is ridiculous.. Honestly.. It closes from 13:30 to 14:30.. Why? I understand if museum office might be closed but not church itself. We went in 13:18 and we were told by staff member that it is already closed.. 12 mins before schedule. Also pretty complicated to get there. Bus or funicular goes only once an hour..

Beautiful Basilica on top of a hill with panoramic views of Turin and the Po river. We used the Turin tourist card which I can't recommend enough. The staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful views and an interesting story behind the Basilica.

Beautiful place on the top of a large hill overlooking Torino. Had a tour of the Royal Tombs of the House of Savoy. As well as the room with the collection of portraits of popes through history. The center gardens are beautiful. Unfortunately the day we were there visibility was poor so didn’t get the view of Torino so many talk about.

This Basilica is absolutely stunning and you can feel the spirit when you enter the building. The back story is very interesting and shows how compelling people of history really were. I highly recommend visiting this place if you're in Turin. Please be respectful though!

The best place to view the city with the mountains in the back. In the morning there was a lot of mist so I think sunset here is amazing and the Basilica is open very late. A lot of people have their date here at the evening with a glass of wine.

A beautiful and serene basilica with amazing views out over Torino, and the Alps when the weather permits. A beautiful place to light a candle and say a prayer for a loved one or take a name card for someone who needs a prayer too.

Be sure and go on a clear day to optimize your visit. If the weather is poor the cupola will be closed but you can still see the crypt and the apartments. I recommend seeing all the options even though the guided tour is in Italian if you don’t speak Italian they have a translated info packet about the tour so you won’t be clueless. The crypt was the most interesting as it is still in use for distant relatives of the savoy family. The most recent burial was just a few years ago. The architecture of the building is stunning! Parking was easy and the guides are so friendly. The weather was moody and foggy the day i went so the cupola was closed but the visit was still worth it to see the church and the crypt.

Fantastic palace as a residence for the House of Savoy to visit day and night ! First of all, the interesting 18th century baroque facade which was placed on the medieval building at the back. Then the interior monumental staircase which characterizes the monumentality and magnificence of the baroque palaces. The regent of Duke Charles-Emmanuel II, Christine de France, sister of Louis XIII, who calls herself "Madame Royale", chooses it as her personal residence.

A grand palace with a magnificent staircase which minis once drove down in The Italian Job. The museum is fantastic, with several stories of very varied exhibits, from austere Medieval Christian on the ground floor, and sumptuous Baroque above it, to a top tier of glossy porcelain and an amazing view on the roof.

Palazzo Madama in Turin is a masterpiece of layered history and Baroque elegance. The highlight upon entering is the grand staircase designed by Filippo Juvarra—a breathtaking architectural feature that feels almost theatrical. With its sweeping curves, marble balustrades, and dramatic play of light, the staircase alone is worth the visit. It sets the tone for the refined beauty and historical depth found throughout the palace.

I spent over four hours at Palazzo Madama, and not a minute felt wasted. The permanent collections are impressive, from austere medieval Christian art to flamboyant Baroque ceramics, each floor offers a distinct atmosphere and a clear narrative. You climb through centuries, not just stairs. What truly surprised me was how quiet the museum was ... even in peak season, it felt like I had the place to myself. No crowds, no noise, just art and silence. It’s rare to find such a rich collection in such a peaceful setting. If you’re tired of elbowing through tourists at the Egyptian Museum or Palazzo Reale, this is your sanctuary. 😍

Great palace in downtown center with amazing museum full of art and decorations. Also featuring a view tower.

The palace has become a large and diverse museum that has plenty of surprises: Renaissance paintings, with special attention for Defendente Ferrari; wonderful wood carvings; a vast collection of porcelain; baroque palatial rooms; a quiet and secretive most garden; great views over the city. Take your time to explore!

There's so much to see here and it is great value. Superb views of the city centre from the tower, magnificent collections of art, ceramics etc. A beautiful, peaceful garden almost hidden away. All that and spectacular staterooms and the magnificent staircase famously descended by the Mini Coopers in The Italian Job.

Its good place to visit during good weather.. just its always full of people.. a lot of cars up there. In my opinion they should not allow the cars until the last stop... (until its for disabled persons).. beautiful view of Turin. U can bring up snacks and enjoy there

Visiting this Church is your best intro with Turin. It's located just across the city center, on the other side of Po river. Chiesa Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini is a Baroque Church dating back to 16c with more appealing interiors than exterior. However, the moment you reach the elevated terrace in front of the Church you're overwhelmed with absolute best views of entire Turin with the Alps in the background. Have in mind most reviews here are for the views, not the Church. The Church I'd rate 3 (average), but the views are outstanding.

This is a beautiful view point of the city with the mountains in the back. Of course sun set and sun down are always the best time. There is a cute little church as well to visit while there. Just pop in for a look inside it is very small. But you go there as it is the best view point of the whole Turin city. It was no crowded when we went. Handicapped people can drive all the way to the top and park in front of the church. ( there are about 5 places) Otherwise the main parking is a little lower and you have a 5 mins walk up but a very steep hill.

Nice place in the top of a hill. The route to chiesa is a up-hill trail, nice to walk in a forest. The chiesa is outstanding. The View to Torino from up hill is fabulos!

Fantastic... You have to take the walk up... Beautiful view of Torino...

IT'S WORTH BEING THERE! Such a beautiful view of the city of Turin. Amazing.

Nice church to visit and in the evening the view of Turin and mount blanc are really awesome. Whoever comes to Turin should include in his itinerary.

Beautiful Beautiful beautiful church and I love visiting cathedrals churches as I am pure catholic

From outside is very simple, but inside it is gorgeous and rich in polychrome marble decorations. The ceiling is breathtaking. Paintings are fabulous.

Extraordinarily beautiful architecture (the dome in particular) with some exquisite works of art on the altars inside this church.

We only found this hidden gem because our bike tour guide pointed out the small blue door in the corner of the square. Apparently the original entrance would have upstaged the palace so the Emperor stopped it from being built. Judging from the interior he was right! We visited several churches during our visit and this was the prettiest. Small in scale and with a stunning ceiling. Our guide said that once a year on the summer equinox light penetrates alcoves to reveal frescoes - you’d need to research this as I haven’t!

San Lorenzo church, I read in a lot of posts that rhis church is must to visit. I must say that it was beautiful and that's it. Nothing extraordinary, just beautiful church.

Very beautiful interior and a room with an exhibit about the shroud.

The Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is one of the most historic and beautiful churches in Turin, Italy. Located in the heart of the city's historic center, the church is an important landmark and a popular destination for visitors to the city. Built in the late 17th century, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is an excellent example of Baroque architecture. Its beautiful façade features intricate carvings and sculptures, while the interior of the church is adorned with stunning frescoes, ornate altars, and beautiful marble columns. One of the most striking features of the church is its impressive dome, which is over 60 meters high and is visible from all around the city. Visitors can climb up to the top of the dome to enjoy breathtaking views of Turin and the surrounding area. In addition to its beautiful architecture, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is also home to a number of important religious artifacts and relics. These include the Holy Shroud of Turin, which is believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Visitors to the church can also explore its many chapels and side altars, which are filled with stunning works of art and religious icons. The church is particularly famous for its Chapel of the Holy Shroud, which houses a replica of the Shroud and is considered one of the most important religious sites in Italy. The Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is also home to a number of important cultural events and concerts throughout the year. These range from classical music performances to art exhibits and film screenings, and offer a great opportunity to experience the rich cultural heritage of Turin. Overall, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Turin. Its stunning architecture, rich history, and important religious artifacts make it one of the most popular attractions in the city. Whether you're interested in art, history, or simply enjoying beautiful architecture, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is definitely worth a visit. However, it's worth noting that as a working church, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo can be quite busy and crowded during peak religious periods and on weekends. Visitors should be prepared to wait in line to see the Holy Shroud and other important artifacts, and should also be respectful of the church's religious significance. In addition, visitors should be aware that the climb to the top of the dome can be quite challenging, and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or other health concerns. However, for those who are able to make the climb, the views from the top are truly breathtaking and well worth the effort. Overall, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is a true gem of Turin and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the city's rich cultural heritage. With its stunning architecture, important religious artifacts, and vibrant cultural events, it offers something for everyone and is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

You can find more interesting churches in the city, without the shadow of a doubt, it is not all that beautiful indeed, but it is still worth to visit it especially for the view that you get on Piazza Vittorio Veneto. Quite a few steps to do, but definitely worth the effort

Capping one end of the Via Po this Neoclassical church offers great views from the top of the steps along this arterial avenue to the Palazzo Madama. Looks amazing at night, but a little less grand inside than out.

This was a very beautiful church. It's very centrally located. Make sure you visit before it's closing time. Such a beautiful place, especially from the outside.

The view from the stairs was awesome! Absolutely recommend it in the evening

We made our way to Chiesa Parrocchiale della Gran Madre di Dio to look at the church as well as the statue with the outstretched hand holding a chalice. Some say that the Holy Grail was hidden in Turin and that the chalised hand points towards the hidden relic.

Quiet and lovely place. It's really great to have an experience in here. Actually it is located close the the villa Della Regina. You can search on Google map about the place that I have mentioned. All in all about the church I would say the interior design is amazing and really clean. I would definitely recommend you to visit grand madre church which is great. You gonna have a good experience when you are in.

Built between 1818 and 1831 inspired by the Pantheon in Rome to celebrate the end of Napoleonic rule and the return to Turin of King Vittorio Emanuele I of Savoy, it is one of the most characteristic churches in the city. In front of it the statue of the king; on the sides of the access stairway there are two statues: the one on the left represents "the faith" and the one on the right "the religion".

This palace is definitely worth a visit because it is a MARVEL! I'm surprised by the fact that it's not one of the city's best-known attractions and it doesn't cost much at all (€5 for adults and €2 for students). The visit must be done with a guide at a pre-established time (reservation is mandatory indeed); at the same time, I think it's a negative point of the museum: the guided tour (lasts 40 minutes just fyi) is quite boring and is only in Italian. For foreigners, or in any case for anyone, it would be much better if it were possible to visit it independently

There are 2 sides to this beautiful building, red stone on one side (up from museo egizio) and pale stone on the other side, you can walk through from one side to the other (there is a drinking water tap on the side with the pale stone facade) . It's free to enter the palazzo if you hold a royal pass or piedmont card, and if you live history it's a must. The history of Italy is told through photos, paintings documents and artifacts, all housed in this beautiful building. Well worth a visit.

Interesting guided visit in terms of architecture (compact palace design) and stories about the royal family members. I joined the Italian tour, but there should be an English tour, too.

Sucked! Unfriendly people. Only in Italian and no effort to engage — all the apartments were closed so very little to see. Don’t waste your time. Even the Italians on the tour were very disappointed. We speak a bit of Italian and the guide was not interested in sharing. Didn’t get his name but will share a photo. We raced from Palazzo Madama to get to our time slot. Should’ve stayed there—it’s an awesome place to see

The place is beautiful, but only about five rooms were open. I'm not sure if other rooms were closed or if that's all there is to visit.

Very lucky to have arrived at 10am for a guided tour (5euros for the entry) Home Castle of La Princesse de Lamballe Concave and convex staircase was astonishing!

Outstanding masterpiece of architecture by Guarino Guarini. A visit to the noble apartments is a must!

The cathedral is worth a visit , its architecture is understated, and the atmosphere is serene. But when it comes to the Shroud of Turin, it’s a complete farce. Prepare to be disappointed. You’re made to wait in silence, only to be led in front of a glass wall. And after all that, what do you get? Just a blown-up copy of a 127-year-old photo taken by Secondo Pia. The actual shroud is locked away in a vault, only accessible through the Royal Palace (with paid admission), and even then, you don’t get to see it. Waiting an hour for this feels harsh. The whole setup lacks transparency and honesty.

Despite being the cathedral, it is less opulent and ornate than other churches in the city. Paintings are fabulous. The ambience is not crowded.

The Cathedral is rich in history and architectural beauty and free to visit. I went there on Friday morning around 11.00am and there was no queue. Really enjoyed the educational video (subtitles available) about the Shroud of Turin.

Beautiful decorations with different types of marble. There is an exact reproduction of the Last Supper. You can also have a peek from the inside of the Palazzo Reale, which has a huge window looking onto the Cattedrale.

The Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista is breathtaking! Nestled in the heart of Turin, its elegant façade and soaring dome immediately catch your eye. Inside, the atmosphere feels sacred and peaceful, with intricate chapels and artwork everywhere. Of course, the highlight is the famous Shroud of Turin—absolutely unforgettable!

The Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista has a noticeable High-roof chapel and bell tower, placed close to the Royal Palace of Turin.

Place to be in the presence of the Shroud - quite a low key cathedral. The gift shop accepts cash only, no cards.

One of the most beautiful piazza in Torino , many restaurants are located there , so close to shops in Via Roma and close few minutes walking distance Porta nouva station!

The church at Piazza San Carlo is beautiful and peaceful. It’s not very big, but the architecture and details inside are really impressive. It’s a nice place to stop by if you’re walking around the city. It feels calm and quiet inside, a nice break from the busy streets of Milan. Definitely worth a quick visit if you enjoy historic buildings and quiet spots.

Piazza San Carlo is truly a gem in the heart of Turin. The moment we saw it by night, it was breathtaking—the whole square was aglow with lights, highlighting the grand statue and the beautiful Baroque buildings that line the piazza. It's the kind of place where you just want to sit down and soak up the atmosphere. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy a coffee, an aperitivo, or simply to watch the world go by. This piazza feels like the city's elegant living room. We highly recommend visiting, especially in the evening, to experience its unique beauty and charm.

Piazza San Carlo, often referred to as the "Salotto di Torino," is a stunning square that epitomizes Turin's elegance and charm. Surrounded by impressive baroque architecture, including the iconic churches of Santa Cristina and San Carlo Borromeo, the piazza serves as a lively gathering place for both locals and tourists. Its spacious layout features beautiful cobblestone pathways, stylish cafes, and vibrant outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for people-watching or enjoying a leisurely coffee. With its rich history and picturesque ambiance, Piazza San Carlo is a must-visit landmark that captures the essence of Turin.

Piazza San Carlo is a truly beautiful and elegant square — one of Turin’s most iconic places. Surrounded by historic arcaded buildings, it’s full of life yet never feels rushed. There are many cafés and restaurants where you can sit, relax, and enjoy a cappuccino or aperitivo while watching the world go by. The square is immaculately maintained and feels both grand and welcoming — a perfect spot to experience the spirit of Turin.

It is a lovely Piazza, but not that many attractions are closed on Monday, including some churches.

Lovely piazza , Architecture is amazing, cafes around it where you can sit and take in the Itslian beauty especially on a Sunny day .. Lots of shopping around it, High end brands and normal ones

A large, well-priced museum with many awesome pieces. However, if you are there for the Armory, know that you will have less than 10 minutes in the room. They do small guided tours and only allow 10 minutes per group. Unfortunately, for me, this is worth docking the star. I visited here SPECIFICALLY for the armory as I am a medieval collector. I don't mind that there is a small group guided tour, but it was so quick. My wife and I were taking pictures and only got about halfway through the room when the guide forced us out and they said we could not visit a second time :( The palace itself is truly spectacular and the art is vast and beautiful. Definitely one of the best museums minus the armory issue. CLOSED WEDNESDAY so plan accordingly.

Absolutely worth a visit for history and art lovers. Majestic, easy to access, and surprisingly quiet, it offers a rich cultural experience without the crowds of major tourist attractions. A hidden gem you can truly enjoy at your own pace. 🙏

Wonderful experience, wasn t able to finish the whole tour in one go. But we bought a one year pass that will allow us to revisit anytime(plus entrance to a lot of other museums) We were lucky to visit the Botticelli to Mucha temporary exhibition m 😍

A magnificent place full of history. I visited the Royal Palace of Turin on the first Sunday of the month, when entry was free, a great opportunity! The palace is impressive, with beautifully decorated rooms and plenty of art and history to explore. The royal armory and the chapel are especially worth seeing. Everything is well maintained and the visit was very enjoyable. Highly recommended if you’re in Turin!

An impressive structure even bigger than it looks from the outside. Filled with fascinating rooms and art, one could spend an entire day inside easily if you were to stop and appreciate absolutely every item and room in the building. The mix of more recent palatial rooms, older architecture in the rooms next to the cathedral, and the ancient artifacts in the underground area really make for a diverse experience. It's a broad swath of Torino history and more general Italian/regional history. Very much worth a visit, or maybe two if you really want to take in everything with fresh eyes.

The place is amazing specially if you're a budget traveler you can enjoy the beautiful museum and use the clean and comfortable toilets also the garden is pretty nice and peaceful for resting. The other good point about the place is that with 1euro coin you can use the lockers and store your bags and explore freely

INCREDIBLE! Great value as you get multiple great museums for the price of 1. Visit mornings weekdays & there is little to no crowd at all! Don't visit Turin & not go here!!

It is under renovation at this moment so we couldn’t really absorb the vibe ,However there were so many gift shops for tourists and the paintings on the walls were incredible

A lovely historical site in the middle of one of the most beautiful parks in Turin! My friend and I were amazed and pleasantly surprised at how majestic the attraction was… it’s worth exploring on a sunny day!

A park located near the Po River, in which a small village has been built that simulates the Middle Ages.

Even if it's small It's an amazing place. I've been there with my friends and we all enjoyed the place, the view and the vibe. From the moment I entered through the small gates, I felt I traveled to the past, to another place. It's actually really medieval. And the building, paintings and structure of the place is really accurate. There are also some shops with incredible articles and small prices all of them selling medieval stuff like swords, shields, bows, robes, etc... It's an amazing place to take your kids and show them how the castle and knights era would feel like.

Quaint location to visit. Pulls you right back to medieval times with its architecture. It is also very quiet and a good place to hide from the sun. The fortress is under renovation unfortunately. The entrance for the rest is free.

Beautiful place. My family was actually fooled thinking it was actually medieval, and not a product of a world exposition. If happen to be in Turin and have some spear time, give it a go, kids will like it

Got to see how the Medival period atmosphere looks like, great experience. Also it has some shops selling Harry Potter, Game of thrones stuff. Its small but can enjoy while exploring it. Happy that i visited.

Stupinigi Castle is absolutely breathtaking, both from the outside and the inside. The architecture and decorative details are stunning, and every room tells a story. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. It’s a must-see if you’re in the area—an elegant blend of history, art, and beauty.

The inside of the palace was great, the same woman who was a tour guide at Moncaleri was a tour guide here and was a life saver helping is get tickets printed since we just had a receipt. The palace was great, but the grounds were totally under construction and inaccessible... there should be a fee reduction in that case or at least some notice before you pay.

Juvarra designed palace, thought out as a “hunting residence”, with Rococo’ interiors embellished like there’s no tomorrow. a must visit if you’re travelling near Turin area.

Very nice place. If you visit Torino, then this is a must. Close to the city and full of story. You can only visit the house not the garden but still worth-it. If you don’t purchase the tickets online, you can buy there at the house.

I went for the Vivaldi 4 seasons performance. My husband and I both enjoyed the performance,it was a fantastic and magical night. The venue in the castle is well chosen and lovely.

I wanted to write a review to say that I thought the visit was worth the 12 Euro entry fee. There were many small rooms with furniture and very nice painted ceilings. I watched a video showing just how much time, money and work goes into restoring a huge place like this. The video also showed many movies and shows that have been filmed here. The grand ballroom was very impressive. I even found the elevator that installed in 1905 to be an interesting piece of history. Thanks.

Nice visit, highly recommended especially if you want to observe how the “royals” were living and spending their time during the past centuries. The place was the hunting ground for the Savoia Family. I would like to see more areas open to the public, to fully enjoy the visit.

Beautiful, layered chapel with great use of silver throughout. I recommend confessing your sins here.

It is definitely one of the most beautiful places of worship that you can find in Turin and it is completely free of charge. Unfortunately, there are always some strange people nearby and it is truly a pity for such a beautiful place

We come to this church everyday when we were in Turin. My husband and I attended the holy mass in this church. Even I was not able to speak fluent Italian, the kind priest allowed me to do a confession. We are also happy to wonder around to see the beautiful architecture and the history behind this church.

Probably the most impressing and most decorated church in Turin. The lay-out is extraordinary with many different chappels. Not very crowded so a nice peacefull atmossphere.

One of the best church in Turin !!! The sanctuary is known as "La Consolata" The shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Consolation. It has an eclectic collection of architecture, and includes portions of an ancient Roman wall, a Romanesque bell-tower, a baroque set of domes, almost Byzantine, sheltering a gothic icon, with two porticos, one of which has Neoclassic severity.

The outside doesn’t give any clues as to how ornately Beautiful the inside is. Wow the amount of detail in the Marble is incredible worth a visit when you’re in the neighborhood

I’ve rarely seen such an amount of art in the church. The interior is full of sculptures, ornaments, and frescos. Santuario della Consolata is a real work of art. Quite a valuable representative of Baroque!

The interior is splendid. The ceiling and pulpit are nicely decorated. Paintings are fabulous.

Its a nice church located in Piazza San Carlo. Interior sculptures are very beautiful

A very beautiful church

Good

Elegant made church, excellent Baptistry house.

Another classy looking church adjoining the other classy church right next to it, impressive stone frontage, central Torino is a beautiful place.

So beautiful ♥️♥️

The Cancellata di Palazzo Reale in Turin is a striking entrance gate that frames the Royal Palace, showcasing exquisite Baroque design and intricate ironwork. This impressive gate serves as a grand welcome to visitors exploring the palace’s rich history and opulent gardens. The craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect the splendor of the royal heritage, making it a beautiful photo opportunity and a key feature of the palace grounds. Overall, the Cancellata di Palazzo Reale embodies the elegance and architectural beauty that Turin is known for.

Although the Medusa is commonly considered a monster, her head is mythically framed as a protective amulet, capable of warding off evil and doing justice to the hero. You think what you want but in my opinion it represents beauty, art and philosophy.

Visiting the city of Turin. My hometown where I born and grew up since '67 until 2003

A good place to visit if you’re in turin

Great tourist spot

(Translated by Google) The gate of Piazzetta Reale in Turin, located between Piazza Castello and the Royal Palace, is a particularly significant work of nineteenth-century scenographic architecture. Before its construction, the space was delimited by a seventeenth-century wooden structure known as the "Pavilion" which served as a separation between the public square and the private area of ​​the royal court, used among other things for the display of the Shroud. However, on 7 July 1811 the Pavilion was destroyed by fire, leaving the Piazzetta Reale open and without boundaries and subsequently, during the Napoleonic French occupation (1801-1814), the part of the connecting sleeve between Palazzo Madama and the Piazzetta Reale was completely demolished, eliminating the high wall that divided the square itself. In 1834, King Carlo Alberto decided to restore the separation between public and private spaces and in 1835 Giovanni Colla and Chiaffredo Odetti received the commission and funding for the "formation and placement of a large gate in cast iron worked in front of the royal Palazzo Grande" and to "give both sides oil color with two hands" according to the project entrusted to Pelagio Palagi (1775-1860). Originally from Bologna and a multifaceted artist as a painter, sculptor and architect, Palagi worked in various Italian cities including Milan and Turin where he contributed to the interior decoration of the Royal Palace and designed furnishings and art objects for the Savoy court, fusing, with his eclectic style, classical elements with stylistic innovations. Originally, three openings were planned for the gate: the central one remained as such while the two in the middle of the lateral sections were closed with elements designed to be opened. The two equestrian statues of the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, added in 1848 and sculpted by Abbondio Sangiorgio, were cast in bronze in 1842 by Giovanni Battista Viscardi and Luigi Manfredini and placed on the sides of the main entrance while Palagi completed the decoration of the structure with eight molten iron candelabra powered by gas, a very innovative technology at the time. Among the symbols that distinguish the gate, the effigy of the Medusa certainly stands out, repeated at each section and symbol of inviolability and power and the writing FERT, an ancient Savoy motto subject to different interpretations, adopted by the Savoys on coats of arms and coins since the Middle Ages and also present in the Supreme Order of the Santissima Annunziata, the highest honor of the Kingdom of Sardinia and Italy. According to some, it could be the acronym of "Fortitudo Eius Rhodum Tenuit" (His strength held Rhodes) in reference to the participation of the Savoys in the Crusades and their support for the Knights of Rhodes (later the Knights of Malta) in the defense of the island against the Ottomans. Other possible interpretations are: "Foedere Et Religione Tenemur" (We are bound by Pact and Religion), "Fortitudo Eius Republicam Tenet" (His strength supports the State) or, more likely, FERT would indicate the Latin verbal phrase of the verb "to bear", "to endure" or "to sustain" to indicate the aspiration of the Savoy dynasty to resist adversity and to govern firmly. Restored in 1895 as the many parts of which it was made were damaged by water infiltration, the gate was completely replaced in 1932 by a new one in cast iron, cast by the Manfredi & Bongioanni company of Fossano. A recent restoration, completed in 2005 with private funding, aimed to restore the nineteenth-century appearance of the work with green bronze details and golden inserts and thus brought it back to its original scenographic role. (Original) La cancellata di Piazzetta Reale a Torino, situata tra Piazza Castello e il Palazzo Reale, è un'opera particolarmente significativa di architettura scenografica ottocentesca. Prima della sua costruzione, lo spazio era delimitato da una struttura seicentesca in legno nota come "Paviglione" che fungeva da separazione tra la piazza pubblica e l'area privata della corte reale, utilizzato tra l'altro per l'ostensione della Sindone. Tuttavia, il 7 luglio 1811 il Paviglione fu distrutto da un incendio, lasciando la Piazzetta Reale aperta e priva di delimitazioni e successivamente, durante l'occupazione francese napoleonica (1801-1814), fu completamente abbattuta la parte della manica di collegamento tra il Palazzo Madama e la Piazzetta Reale, eliminando l'alta muratura che divideva la piazzetta stessa. Nel 1834, il re Carlo Alberto decise di ripristinare la separazione fra lo spazio pubblico e quello privato e nel 1835 Giovanni Colla e Chiaffredo Odetti ricevettero l'incarico e il finanziamento per la “formazione e collocamento di una grande cancellata in ferro fuso lavorato avanti il reale Palazzo Grande” e per “dare colore ad olio a due mani ad ambe le parti” secondo il progetto affidato a Pelagio Palagi (1775-1860). Originario di Bologna e artista poliedrico in quanto pittore, scultore e architetto, Palagi lavorò in diverse città italiane tra cui Milano e Torino dove contribuì alla decorazione interna del Palazzo Reale e progettò arredi e oggetti d'arte per la corte sabauda fondendo, con il suo stile eclettico, elementi classici con innovazioni stilistiche. In origine, erano previste tre aperture della cancellata: quella centrale è rimasta tale mentre le due a metà dei tratti laterali sono state chiuse con degli elementi progettati per essere apribili. Le due statue equestri dei Dioscuri, Castore e Polluce, aggiunte nel 1848 e scolpite da Abbondio Sangiorgio, furono fuse in bronzo nel 1842 da Giovanni Battista Viscardi e Luigi Manfredini e poste ai lati dell'ingresso principale mentre Palagi completò la decorazione della struttura con otto candelabri in ferro fuso alimentati a gas, tecnologia allora molto innovativa. Fra i simboli che contraddistinguono la cancellata, spiccano sicuramente l'effige della Medusa, ripetuta ad ogni sezione e simbolo di inviolabilità e potenza e la scritta FERT, antico motto sabaudo oggetto di diverse interpretazioni, adottato dai Savoia su stemmi e monete fin dal Medioevo e presente anche nell’Ordine Supremo della Santissima Annunziata, la più alta onorificenza del Regno di Sardegna e d'Italia. Secondo alcuni, potrebbe essere l'acronimo di "Fortitudo Eius Rhodum Tenuit" (La sua forza mantenne Rodi) in riferimento alla partecipazione dei Savoia alle Crociate e al loro sostegno ai Cavalieri di Rodi (poi Cavalieri di Malta) nella difesa dell'isola contro gli Ottomani. Altre possibili interpretazioni sono: "Foedere Et Religione Tenemur" (Siamo vincolati da Patto e Religione), "Fortitudo Eius Republicam Tenet" (La sua forza sostiene lo Stato) oppure, più probabilmente, FERT indicherebbe la locuzione verbale latina del verbo "portare", "sopportare" o "sostenere" a indicare l'aspirazione della dinastia sabauda a resistere alle avversità e a governare con fermezza. Restaurata nel 1895 poichè le molte parti di cui era costituita erano danneggiate dalle infiltrazioni d'acqua, la cancellata fu integralmente sostituita nel 1932 da una nuova in ghisa, fusa dalla ditta Manfredi & Bongioanni di Fossano. Un recente restauro, terminato nel 2005 ad opera di finanziamenti privati, ha mirato a ripristinare l'aspetto ottocentesco dell'opera con dettagli in verde bronzo e inserti dorati e l'ha riportata così al suo ruolo scenografico originale.

(Translated by Google) This imposing gate of the Royal Palace dates back to 1840 and is located between Piazza Castello and Piazzetta Reale; the candelabra positioned on the top of the pillars and the numerous golden heads of the Medusa along the entire gate are ornamental and spectacular.

It's such a beautiful place. Although we did not get to see the original Holy Shroud, all other relics and Holy articles are so beautiful and of imperative significance.

The Cappella della Sacra Sindone is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and spiritual grandeur. Designed by Guarino Guarini, the chapel’s soaring dome and intricate geometry create a sense of awe and lightness. Recently restored after a devastating fire, it now shines with renewed beauty. Whether you’re drawn by faith, history, or architecture, this chapel is a must-visit in Turin—deeply moving and architecturally extraordinary.

If you arrive expecting to see the holy shroud of Turin, you won't as it is safely stored. However, what you can see in an annex area within the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is a replica plus a detailed history leading up to the nature of the shroud. Most interesting!

A jaw-dropping capolavoro from Juvarra and can be seen as part of the tour of the royal palace. Truly an awe-inspiring achievement. Not to be missed.

The Cappella della Sacra Sindone, located within the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and a place of deep spiritual significance. Designed by the renowned architect Guarino Guarini, the chapel is dedicated to housing the Shroud of Turin, a revered relic believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Its intricate interior features elegant marble and dramatic lighting, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere for visitors. The chapel's historical and artistic importance, combined with its serene ambiance, makes the Cappella della Sacra Sindone a must-see for anyone exploring Turin's rich cultural heritage.

An exceptional church with direct access from the Royal Palace and public church. Here the Shroud of Turin is encased in the alter. It is easily accessible for public viewing. In Bologna, researches created a three dimensional view of Jesus using the imagery from the Shroud. See photo. For those who follow the documentaries regarding the Shroud, it is truly amazing to be in its presence.

Beautiful and powerful to see. Be careful of hours as they close for a bit midday.

Very poor service, no or little material and information to support the visit in most foreign languages, the guide could barely speak some English. No audio guide or up to date system to assist the visitors. Dark, not well maintained rooms. Not worth the 8 € entrance ticket. Such a worldwide known and important Relic like the Shroud deserves another quality of presentation.

Old fashioned museum but rich in historical objects that were part of the holly shroud journey

Very informative about the Shroud including how they produced the photo using positive b/w technique that shows better image of the face and body and the detail of the wounds. It's surpriaingly a small church inside the museum which in my opinion was the highlight of this place.

I’ve been fascinated by the Shroud of Turin for a lifetime. Out of curiosity, I visited the Museum of the Shroud, but was disappointed to learn that the relic itself is not on public display. Very recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed Jeremiah Johnston about the Shroud of Turin. For decades, experts dismissed it as a medieval fake. Now, new research points to a very different conclusion — and raises the question of whether the skeptics were simply wrong, or deliberately misleading. In a wide-ranging conversation, Jeremiah Johnston presents evidence suggesting the Shroud may, in fact, be the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Johnston also referenced Doug Powell’s artwork, created in Midjourney by blending the face from the Shroud of Turin with the 6th-century Sinai Pantocrator icon from St. Catherine’s Monastery, dated to around 550 AD. This ancient icon is widely regarded as the closest known visual match to the Shroud’s face — almost an exact likeness. (see attached). The third image is from a Facebook group and is included for comparison (Shroud of Turin).

The museum was very informative and helped me understand more about the shroud, from its history, science, and well explained in english. Simono is a great english tour guide! And all for €8! God bless

An excellent place to spend your time. You can understand the history and the scientific researches about the shroud of Turin here. It’s fascinating to to read about the journey of the shroud and it’s importance to the church. Please note that the original shroud is not on display here. The shroud is publicly displayed only once every few years with prior announcements.

This place is absolutely wonderful and it will really help you understand the suffering Jesus went through for you.... and the more one is willing to suffer for you the more that person loves you. And remember that Jesus is God one with Our Father and in the unity of the Holy Spirit.... that was your sins that put Jesus on that Cross and all of the sufferings to that point. Every one of your pathetic sins of lust and misuse of your sexuality, stealing and swearing and taking God's name in Vain, all the times you miss mass on Sunday and refused to keep Sunday as a holy day without any work or causing others to work, all of the times you fight both verbally and physically comma and all of the times you refuse to forgive someone who has wronged you. All of the times you have told lies and all of the times you have stolen or was dishonest in any way. You need to run to Jesus because your sufferings are on his body and you can see all of this in this museum. This is how much he loves you and all of this is supposed to inspire you to fall in love with him and to start following his ways and his teachings.... remember to that our Lady suffered as well for you at the foot of the cross watching her son go through this agony..... and what did the father go through seeing his son go through all this and how much does the father love you just send his son because it is the only way you could be rescued.... ponder these things deeply and let it all turn your heart completely to God not your way but his way..... start with the Ten Commandments

I went to the Teatro Regio di Torino for a performance of Rigoletto, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The atmosphere of the theater was enchanting, and the performance itself was breathtaking. I had purchased my ticket in advance, and everything went smoothly upon arrival. My seat in the balcony offered a great view, though it was a bit snug—but that’s just a small detail in such a historic venue. During the intermission, I visited the bar, which had a fantastic selection of delicious food, making the break even more enjoyable. The staff were kind and professional, adding to the overall wonderful experience. I would definitely return for another opera!

Very spacious, good acoustics and reasonable prices at the Caffè inside! The lyrics appear on top of the stage so you can also follow together, really nice. Loved watching opera for the first time in life there ☺️ Buying tickets at the theater is a bit less expensive than online.

We saw a production of Rigoletto (03/2025) and very much enjoyed the show. Confortable seats, nice intermission service (be sure to get a ticket and pay for your drinks before you go to the bar 😉). We thought the building was a bit hidden and recessed for what it is. It merits a more impressive location and a facelift.

Wow, what a wonderful experience at the teatro for the Manon opera. Seating was perfect, would definitely recommend choosing the balcony/lodge area with an antichambre and flexible poltrona seating. Great view from high (although some views are partial as part of the stage cannot be seen). This is so far one of the most beautiful opera theatres, with bright red carpets, velvet, and all the elements that really make you feel like you're at the opera. This was a highlight of our trip.

Magnificent Opera House. Program and performances always excellent. The architecture of Carlo Mollino is just beautiful. The perfect setting for these great performances.

Very beautiful place. The Acoustics in the theater are probably my favorite thing. Watched AIDA opera there and it was spectacular. The only problem is, how could such a fancy place have so many little toilets during the break in between plays. During the break, the toilet for women was completely overcrowded, some women had to skip the 1st 5-10 min of the play after the break.

It was a wonderful experience! Theatre and performance are outstanding. We were lucky to get a ticket for The Barber of Seville. Wow! What a voices!!! Beautifully done!!! Brava!!! 👏 👏👏

It is very beautiful and historic. I was amazed by the harmony of colours. It’s not open every day. First I went on a Sunday morning but a mess was going on. I could visit on Monday afternoon and it was worth it. When I visited (March 2025) three paintings were out for restauration but it didn’t bother me. It’s good that the paintings are being taken care of. The guide lady told me classical music concerts are sometimes held in the chapel - it must be great with that quality of acoustic.

Simply unexpected but majestic and powerful nonetheless. Stumbled upon this gem wandering around Turin and what a sight. The chapel is beautifully preserved and there are very kind and knowledgeable guides to show you around.

Situated on the famous Via Garibaldi where we hunted Saldi-Discounts, this beautiful church attracted our attention. So peaceful and beautiful piece of art inside.

Very interesting place to visit and admire the art, architecture and history. Very detailed art paintings. To enter this Chapel is free of charge, however, they accept donations. A guide took us around the chapel to explain facts about this place. Good spot to visit.

Very unusual private chapel. We happened to go during an Opera Master class. Superb acoustics

Amazing chapel, is not open very often but worth the effort.

Perhaps, you will be lucky to see it. Please mind that the openjng hours specified at their website don't mean anything.

Mario Botta! . Geometry. Form. Complexity. Minimalism. Impressive.

Very different architecture in compare to other churches. The outside seems strange to some, but I like it very much and inside is really cool too.

Splendid, majestuous. Divine geometry.

Prayerful and beautiful

Nice church for mass

Liked it.

Really good experience and super affordable for such a fun activity! When we went, it was quite crowded, which made it a bit challenging—we fell a lot because people were passing between us or bumping into us, which made us lose balance 😭. So i recommend to go on days that it’s less crowded. I took a hard fall, but thankfully they have aid on-site for anything that happens, so you don’t have to worry. Ice skating is definitely fun, but just be careful and take it slow if you’re new to it. Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend visiting! You’ll have a lot of fun!”

This extraordinary 1960s building was memorably used in 'The Italian Job', so worth seeing if you have watched that film.

This stadium was host to the winter olympics held in 2006, but after that it has been host to a variety of food festivals. They have a lot of space and parking is great too, but the general cleanliness and hygiene of the place could be better.

The most beautiful place to spend time with your girl. It costs 13€ each one(a bit expensive) but there are a lots promotion.

To experience the iceskating you are in the best place of torino where winter olympics 2006 took place

This was a great experience, I liked that place, the colours of the lighting and the music. A great way to spend your time (:

Did you know...This is the famous roof used in the original British film from 1969 THE ITALIAN JOB

Beautiful church. During my visit to Turin to view the Holy Shroud, adoration was held here and helped keep the spirit of pilgrimage.

Very old church and beautiful structure.

Beautiful 😍

(Translated by Google) How many splendid memories when the church was still entrusted to the dearest Don Giuseppe Ormando who always kept it open, and whoever entered to visit its beauty did not leave without a Blessing and a Word inspired by the Holy Spirit through this Man who Loved God and the brothers who he always had a smile and a handshake for everyone. Now Don Giuseppe has gone to the Father, but with all my heart I thank Heaven for having put me on his path. Thank you Lord for giving us a Holy Priest from other times who no longer exist. Thanks to the Diocese of Turin for giving the people of Turin so many empathetic and good priests. When you go to visit that Church, remember this man who helped so many people and say just a thank you even if you weren't lucky enough to meet him. (Original) Quanti splendidi ricordi quando la chiesa era ancora affidata al carissimo don Giuseppe Ormando che la teneva sempre aperta, e chi entrava per visitarne la bellezza, non ne usciva senza una Benedizione e una Parola ispirata dallo Spirito Santo attraverso questo Uomo che Amava Dio e i fratelli che aveva sempre per ognuno un sorriso e una stretta di mano. Ora don Giuseppe è andato al Padre, ma con tutto il cuore Ringrazio il Cielo per avermi messo sulla sua strada. Grazie Signore per averci dato un Santo Sacerdote ancora di altri tempi che non esistono più. Grazie alla Diocesi di Torino per aver donato ai torinesi tanti preti empatici e buoni. Quando andate a visitare quella Chiesa ricordatevi di quest' uomo che ha aiutato tantissime persone e dite anche solo un Grazie anche se non avete avuto la fortuna di incontrarlo.

Interesting building.

(Translated by Google) Many think that the Church of San Salvario is actually that of Saints Peter and Paul (in the small square of Scannabue). In reality the true Church is the beautiful and oldest structure in Via Nizza, in the place where there was already a Church dedicated to San Salvatore since 1100. Already from 1526 there are documents that speak of "San Salvario". But it was with Christina of France, who began the renovation of the Valentino Castle, that in 1646, the project of the Church was entrusted to Bellamonte. The dimensions of the Church are small but elegant due to the combination with the Valentino Castle. Excellent artists were involved for the works inside. "Royal" exterior that runs for about 250 m on Via Nizza, along the Porta Nuova railway. Due to the development of the important station, the rear part was removed and since 1960 the Church has been closed to the public and open only on special occasions. (Original) Molti pensano che la Chiesa di San Salvario sia in realtà quella dei Santi Pietro e Paolo (nella piazzetta di Scannabue). In realtà la vera Chiesa è la bella e più antica struttura di Via Nizza, nel luogo in cui già dal 1100 vi era una Chiesa dedicata a San Salvatore. Già dal 1526 si hanno documenti che parlano di "San Salvario". Ma è con Cristina di Francia, che mette mano alla ristrutturazione del Castello del Valentino, che nel 1646, si affida il progetto della Chiesa al Bellamonte. Piccole le dimensioni della Chiesa ma elegante per via del binomio con il Castello del Valentino. Eccellenti artisti furono coinvolti per le opere all'interno. Esterno "regale" che corre per circa 250 m su via Nizza, lungo la ferrovia di Porta Nuova. Per via dello sviluppo dell'importante Stazione, la parte retrostante è stata sottratta e dal 1960 la Chiesa è chiusa al pubblico ed aperta solo in occasioni speciali.

(Translated by Google) Built in 1646 to a design by Amedeo and Carlo di Castellamonte, in 1653 the church hosted the Servants of Mary and the convent and a hospital were built. In 1840 the convent was handed over as a novitiate to the Sisters of Charity and in 1865 Barnaba Paizza designed its expansion. The baroque altar of the chapel dedicated to the Immaculate Virgin, made with polychrome marble, is restored and of fine workmanship. (Original) Edificata nel 1646 su progetto di Amedeo e Carlo di Castellamonte, nel 1653 la chiesa ospitò i Servi di Maria e furono costruiti il convento ed un ospedale.

Restaurato e di pregevole fattura è l'altare barocco della cappella intitolata alla Vergine Immacolata, realizzato con marmi policromi.

Little but attractive

Beautiful old church.

Religious

A place of prayer

(Translated by Google) The church of San Francesco d’Assisi, in the street of the same name, owes its origins to the Franciscan order, which settled in Turin in the 13th century. Located in a central and strategic position in the medieval city, near the Contrada di Dora Grossa (now Via Garibaldi) and the Palazzo del Comune, the church and the adjoining convent of the Friars Minor hosted from the beginning the activities related to the civic administration and chapels sponsored by noble families and trade guilds and were held in such high regard that they had the archive and the treasure of the Municipality in their custody. In 1580, the church acquired particular prestige by hosting for seven years the Shroud, transferred from Chambéry and awaiting a permanent location in the Cathedral. In 1608, a radical reconstruction was begun as part of a project to relaunch the city, which had become the capital of the duchy. Although the pre-existing structures were partly reused, only a few sections of the walls and a late medieval fresco of the Virgin, visible on the third pillar on the left, survived from the medieval building. Starting in 1761, the church underwent a major renovation by the Piedmontese architect Bernardo Antonio Vittone (1704-1770) who transformed the presbytery, dome, choir and several altars, introducing architectural and decorative solutions to increase the natural light inside. His intervention is responsible for the oval windows above the arches of the central nave, the round skylights in the chapels of the right nave, the oval window of the choir and the decoration of the dome with angels and cherubs, partly painted and partly in stucco. Vittone also designed the high altar “alla romana” in polychrome marble, while under the table, protected by a golden grate, the remains of Sant’Innocenzo are preserved, transported from the Roman catacombs in 1765. A further renovation took place in 1863-65 when Rodolfo Morgari retouched the frescoes on the ceiling of the presbytery and his pupil, Alberto Masoero, repainted the vault of the central nave. The side naves are flanked by devotional chapels, often built on the initiative of brotherhoods and artisan corporations. Among the most notable, that of Saints Cosma and Damiano, particularly appreciated for its beauty and mystical atmosphere, is the work of Francesco Martinez, great-grandson of Filippo Juvarra. On the outside, the monumental classical-looking façade, attributed to Mario Ludovico Quarini, a student of Vittone, was completed in 1761 and is marked by pilasters and fluted columns with a low-arched portal surmounted by a large oval window and a large central pediment. Originally overlooking a narrow medieval alley, today it appears compressed by the surrounding buildings, due to the widening of Via San Francesco d'Assisi which took place in the late nineteenth century. During the Second World War, in the air raids of November and December 1942, the roof and the top of the bell tower were set on fire, the ceiling was partially demolished, the stucco was damaged and the stained glass windows were broken. However, subsequent restorations, which should be renewed, brought the building back to its original appearance while preserving its historical and artistic value, a witness to the changes, including urban planning, of the city over the centuries. (Original) La chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi, nella via omonima, deve la sua origine all’ordine francescano, che si stabilì a Torino nel XIII secolo. Collocati in una posizione centrale e strategica della città medievale, nei pressi della Contrada di Dora Grossa (l'attuale via Garibaldi) e del Palazzo del Comune, la chiesa e l'annesso convento dei frati Minori ospitarono fin dall'inizio le attività legate all’amministrazione civica e cappelle patrocinate da nobili famiglie e corporazioni di mestiere ed erano tenuti in così alta considerazione da avere in custodia l'archivio ed il tesoro del Municipio. Nel 1580, la chiesa acquisì particolare prestigio ospitando per sette anni la Sindone, trasferita da Chambéry e in attesa di una collocazione definitiva nel Duomo. Nel 1608, fu avviata una radicale ricostruzione come parte di un progetto di rilancio della città, divenuta capitale del ducato. Anche se furono in parte reimpiegate le strutture preesistenti, dell’edificio medievale sopravvissero solo pochi tratti murari e un affresco tardomedievale della Vergine, visibile sul terzo pilastro sinistro. A partire dal 1761, la chiesa subì un'importante ristrutturazione ad opera dell’architetto piemontese Bernardo Antonio Vittone (1704-1770) che trasformò presbiterio, cupola, coro e diversi altari, introducendo soluzioni architettoniche e decorative per aumentare la luminosità naturale all’interno. Al suo intervento, si devono i finestroni ovali sopra le arcate della navata centrale, i lucernari tondi nelle cappelle della navata destra, il finestrone ovale del coro e la decorazione della cupola con angeli e putti in parte dipinti e in parte in stucco. Vittone progettò anche l’altare maggiore “alla romana” in marmi policromi mentre sotto la mensa, protetta da una grata dorata, si conservano i resti di Sant’Innocenzo, trasportati dalle catacombe romane nel 1765. Un'ulteriore ristrutturazione avvenne nel 1863-65 quando Rodolfo Morgari ritoccò gli affreschi del soffitto del presbiterio e il suo allievo, Alberto Masoero, ridipinse la volta della navata centrale. Le navate laterali sono affiancate da cappelle devozionali, spesso realizzate su iniziativa di confraternite e corporazioni artigiane. Tra le più notevoli, si ricorda quella dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, particolarmente apprezzata per la bellezza e l'atmosfera mistica, opera di Francesco Martinez, pronipote di Filippo Juvarra. All'esterno, la facciata monumentale d'aspetto classico, attribuita a Mario Ludovico Quarini, allievo di Vittone, fu ultimata nel 1761 ed è scandita da lesene e colonne scanalate con un portale ad arco ribassato sormontato da un finestrone ovale e un grande frontone centrale. Originariamente affacciata su uno stretto vicolo medievale, oggi appare compressa dai palazzi circostanti, a causa dell’ampliamento di via San Francesco d’Assisi avvenuto a fine Ottocento. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, nelle incursioni aeree di novembre e dicembre 1942 furono incendiati il tetto e la sommità della torre campanaria, demolito parzialmente il soffitto, danneggiate le stuccature e infrante le vetrate istoriate. Tuttavia, i successivi restauri, che sarebbe opportuno rinnovare, riportarono l'edificio all'aspetto originario conservandone il valore storico e artistico, testimone dei cambiamenti anche urbanistici della città nel corso dei secoli.

The sanctuary deserves to be seen. Beautiful.

This is a historical place that was used as horses stable and resident for the king's knights , now it's being used as a cultural centre were lots of activities are being developed inside it like : yoga, theatre, jamming nights and alot of other things, for more information please search for : Cavallerizza irreale on Facebook . Also there is a grand event called "Here" were lots of artists come and show their work and exhibits, it will occur between 19/5 and the 28/5, hope you can make it.

Amazing place when they have events, but usually there's nothing going on. On Tuesdays and Thursdays though they have "Giocollerizza", where anyone can go to do from juggling to aerial silk and break dancing; quite cool if you any of it or you want to learn. Still probably worth a quick visit. The gardens on the back are really cool as well.

movie events shops. A beautiful place which is passing its last days and turning into a hotel

Cultural place created from the historical Savoy`Stables. It is managed by a collective. People involved organising events (concerts, parties, meetings and expositions) are not only squatters, anarchists... there are plenty of students, professionals and active families from "posh" Torino.

Rebellious and characteristic , sometimes charming and sometimes frightening ...

Free offer place to watch some concerts and cultural events which are pretty cool. Ideal location.

Everyday you can find many different cultural activities and many courses for which they ask just a free offer

The standout thing about the restaurant is its service quality - truly exceptional. The staff were attentive, patient and - despite one of my friends being vegan - proposed customised dishes for them. Food came quickly, always served with a smile. Ambience was great: mostly locals having a good time. Would we come back again? Hell yes. It's on our must-visit list for Torino.

We had a wonderful experience at this Roman restaurant in Torino. They offer a great selection of seasonal specialties, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious — especially the carbonara pasta with truffle and the vongole, which were both outstanding. The service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Roman flavors in the heart of Turin!

Eduardo took us on a lovely food journey in Torino. The texture and flavour of the calamari combined with the sparkling nebbiolo was insanely beautiful. How they make simple cuisine so remarkable is quintessential Italian. Come and let go. Come and enjoy.

I ordered the carbonara with black truffles with a glass of the barbera wine recommended by the server. The food was absolutely incredible! Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The server was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. This is a can’t miss restaurant in Torino.

Firstly, the security guard did not want to let us in until our friends who had reserved a table came to pick us up. it was very impolite. secondly, the food is very expensive for such quality. A friend was brought small 4 meat balls with tomato paste worth 18 euros! I ordered pasta for 12 euros, which I could have ordered in any other restaurant for 8 euros. thirdly, there was no bread on the table or any other snacks that are usually brought to the tables. the waiters brought the food too quickly which is a bad sign. the restaurant is located in not the best area, near the market.. I do not recommend going to this restaurant. better choose something better

Dinner was was good the first day, 2nd vist was poor, will not be going back.

Warm night with a WORM surprise Had a dinner (a group of 8ppl) and one of us found a worm in the antipasti platter (probably a salad inhabitant). We’ve communicated it to the personnel instantly, and we got only a new plate for the person who noted the fact, without any excuses. After a dinner, when asked if everything was nice (and it was, overall) we repeated the issue to another waiter, who was surprised. Lastly, at the cash register, we repeated the problem to another lady, expecting to have at least a small discount, and she did not seem to believe us, until, a head waiter (we suppose) came, confirming that he did not know anything. In the end we got a discount (around 8%), but whole process was pretty unfortunate. A nice “sorry” instantly after the incident would have been nicer. We came out very disappointed that the personnel seemed to not believe us (after speaking to 2 waiters already). Thanks for the discount but definitely not a nice treatment for the huge group of 8 people who was welcoming and treating everybody with the respect. For the rest - nice place and good atmosphere.

Great view!! Easy to hike, there is a “toreto” to drink water on top

My local friends brought me here and the view was spectacular 🤩 fun alternative to Monte dei Capuccini, though not as fun. It’s a fun drive away from Capuccini, recommended to do 👍🏼 also would be nice to bring your dog along. During sunset, the view and background gets even better and you can take cute photos 📸

Located in the hill (colina), it has a lovely view over the city. No bar/refreshments available, but nice grass to have a picnic and enjoy the Turin at your feet.

One of the most amazing park in Turin. Some walk ways start from there to Maddalena hill. If you like hiking this is a good place in the middle of the city!

Nice for everyone 👍 it's open and there's some high part that you can see the city 😀

Day and night, quiet and with quite the view. Bring a blanket and lay on the grass, relax as you deserve.

Great place to hang out with friends. An amazing view of the city and the greenery is all the charm.

It’s worth visiting. You can see the body of Saint John Bosco in a glass coffin.

Mother Church of the Salesian Order. Holds the tombs of Saint John Bosco, Dominic Savio and other Saints. A lot of beautiful art. Walkable to the Cathedral. We took a train from Milan to Turin on a Sunday and we're able to arrive in time to attend the afternoon Mass.

We visited this Basilica during our tour of Turin. Amazing and beautiful place. It also has the tomb of Saint John Bosco. The architecture is stunning. Beautiful paintings and art work. Stunning ceilings and the dome is just spectacular. There is a lot of construction going on around the Basilica, but it looks like it will be beautiful once it is all completed. We really enjoyed our visits and seeing all the history.

The Basilica di Maria Ausiliatrice in Turin is a beautiful and historic church designed by Antonelli, known for its stunning architecture and religious significance. It's the burial place of Saint San Giovanni Bosco.

Coming here to pray is truly a blessing. In this church lies the relic of St John Bosco. Having read the beautiful history of the church, you can feel that Our Lady is present inside. My husband and I felt so blessed to attend a mass here while we were in Turin.

One of the most beautiful Basilicas in Italy and Torino. For the Salesian community is a must!! Everything is divine! From the structure to the bookshop! They really help rhe poor people around the world!

Being the product of Don Bosco,it was my wish to visit this place (bucket list) atleast once . My wish was fulfilled on 09.10.2025 and was so delighted with joy. What an atmosphere,devine feel when you enter the church. Was stunned and sat quietly for some time. The saint who made the difference to millions of youngsters. It is a holy shrine and a must visit to all the DB boys. Despite other options to visit all the man made concrete so called manumets in Europe,i chose travel all the way from Netherlands and completed my mission. Thankfully remembered the role St Don Bosco played in my life that too in the crucial budding years . Thank God for making this happen and thank you DB.

The interior is splendid. The ceiling is nicely decorated and painted. The pulpit is ornate. Paintings are fabulous.

Beautiful church with significant sculpture outside the building. Nice design inside the church.

Chiesa di Santa Cristina is small, but very interesting and significant church in terms of fine art and architecture. It is a good representation of baroque style and the interior is full of paintings and sculptures.

Classy looking church off Piazza San Carlo, the statues and intricate carvings on the stone frontage were impressive, took another moment to stand back and marvel at the view in front of me.

Santa Cristina is a baroque style, Roman catholic church located in Turin

💛

Beautiful church in the old town

Nice place to worship in inglese version of the holy mass..14.30pm every sunday.

Gothic experience

Beautiful 😍

(Translated by Google) The church of San Domenico is a church located in the center of Turin, on the corner of the street of the same name at the intersection with via Milano. The facade of the church opens onto a small space inserted in the road axis of via San Domenico; however, the body of the church extends along Via Milano, the perpendicular that connects Via Garibaldi with Porta Palazzo. The small square in front of the church was dedicated on the occasion of the beatification to Blessed Giuseppe Girotti, a friar from the convent deported to Dachau, where he died on Easter Sunday, 1 April 1945. He was beatified in 2014 (Original) La chiesa di San Domenico è una chiesa ubicata nel centro di Torino, all'angolo dell'omonima via all'incrocio con via Milano. La facciata della chiesa si apre su un piccolo spazio inserito nell'asse viario di via San Domenico; il corpo della chiesa si prolunga però lungo via Milano, la perpendicolare che collega Via Garibaldi con Porta Palazzo. La piazzetta antistante la chiesa è stata dedicata in occasione della beatificazione al beato Giuseppe Girotti, frate del convento deportato a Dachau, dove morí il giorno di Pasqua, 1º aprile 1945. È stato beatificato nel 2014

(Translated by Google) Church of San Domenico, the most important example of a Gothic church in Turin. The church and the adjoining convent have their origins with the settlement in Turin of a community of Dominican friars. The first church built by the friars was a small single-hall chapel with an east-west orientation. In 1906, important restoration work began, conducted by Riccardo Beayda and Alfredo D'Andrate, recreating an ideal medieval appearance. During the work, the fourteenth-century frescoes that decorate the chapel of the left nave were brought to light, the only cycle of medieval paintings preserved in Turin. The restoration was entrusted to Giovanni Vaschetta, who integrated the destroyed areas of the sixteenth-century mezzanine with large paintings inspired by contemporary Piedmontese models. The church has a three-nave plan with cross vaults set on pillars. The coats of arms of the noble families who contributed to the restoration with their donations in the early twentieth century are painted on the columns. (Original) Chiesa di San Domenico, il più importante esempio di chiesa gotica a Torino. La chiesa e l'annesso convento hanno origini con l'insediamento a Torino di una comunità di frati Domenicani. La prima chiesa costruita dai frati era un piccolo sacello ad aula unica con orientamento est-ovest Nel 1906 prendono avvio importanti lavori di restauro condotti da Riccardo Beayda e Alfredo D'Andrate, viene ricreato un ideale aspetto medievale. Durante I lavori tornano alla luce gli affreschi trecenteschi che decorano la cappella della navata sinistra, unico ciclo di pittura medievale conservato a Torino. I restauri vengono affidati a Giovanni Vaschetta, che integra le aeree distrutte del soppalco cinquecentesco con ampie pitture ispirate a modelli piemontesi coevi. La chiesa ha un impianto a tre navate con volte a crociera impostate su pilastri . Sulle colonne sono dipinti gli stemmi delle famiglie nobili che nel primi del novecento contribuirono al restauro con le loro donazioni.

(Translated by Google) A quick visit to this church, as the holy mass was taking place; the beginnings of its construction date back to the mid-1200s, it has an important Gothic facade in red bricks and a very spacious interior with 14th century frescoes. (Original) Una visita rapida in questa chiesa, in quanto si svolgeva la santa messa; gli inizi della sua costruzione risalgono alla metà del milleduecento, ha un'importante facciata gotica in mattoni rossi e un'interno molto spazioso con affreschi del XIV secolo.

(Translated by Google) The Church is very interesting for its history. Starting from its foundation to today, which however I will leave aside in the review. In general it is well maintained but has recently needed some restoration due to problems. Inside it is very large and if in the area it is worth a visit (Original) La Chiesa è molto interessante per la sua storia. A partire dalla sua fondazione ad oggi, che però lascio da parte nella recensione. In generale è ben tenuta ma recentemente ha avuto bisogno di alcuni restauri per dei problemi. Dentro è molto amplia e se nella zona ne vale la pena di una visita

Worth to visit. Don't forget to turn around for the impressive organ.

Exquisite interior with some beautiful frescoes.

I wish it was open

(Translated by Google) The Church of the Holy Martyrs in Turin is an authentic jewel of sacred art and spirituality, located in the beating heart of the city. Founded in the 17th century by the Jesuits, this church is a splendid example of Baroque architecture, capable of enchanting visitors with its majesty and the richness of its artistic details. The exterior of the church, with its sober yet elegant facade, perfectly introduces the beauty found within. As soon as you cross the threshold, you are immediately surrounded by a sense of grandeur and devotion. The interiors are sumptuous, with frescoes and decorations representing episodes from the life of the Holy Martyrs and other biblical scenes. These frescoes, the work of extremely talented Baroque artists, are created with such mastery that they almost seem to come to life. Particularly notable are the side altars, each dedicated to a different saint and adorned with sculptures and paintings of great value. The main altar, imposing and richly decorated, is the visual fulcrum of the church, dominated by a beautiful golden tabernacle and statues that express a profound spirituality. One of the most fascinating elements of the Church of the Holy Martyrs is the chapel of the Madonna delle Grazie, a place of great popular devotion. The statue of the Madonna, placed in an elegant decorated niche, attracts many faithful and visitors who come to pray and ask for intercessions. The atmosphere in this chapel is particularly intimate and full of spirituality. The church is also a place of silence and reflection, perfect for a break from the urban frenzy. The soft light that enters from the windows creates a serene and contemplative atmosphere, inviting visitors to a moment of inner peace. Furthermore, the central location of the Church of the Holy Martyrs makes it easily accessible and perfect for a visit during a walk in the historic center of Turin. Its proximity to important tourist attractions, such as Via Garibaldi and Piazza San Carlo, makes it an ideal stop for those who want to enrich their itinerary with a note of art and spirituality. In conclusion, the Church of the Holy Martyrs is an unmissable stop for anyone visiting Turin.

(Original) La Chiesa dei Santi Martiri a Torino è un autentico gioiello di arte sacra e spiritualità, situata nel cuore pulsante della città. Fondata nel XVII secolo dai Gesuiti, questa chiesa è un esempio splendido di architettura barocca, capace di incantare i visitatori con la sua maestosità e la ricchezza dei suoi dettagli artistici. L'esterno della chiesa, con la sua facciata sobria ma elegante, introduce alla perfezione la bellezza che si trova all'interno. Appena varcata la soglia, si è subito avvolti da un senso di grandezza e devozione. Gli interni sono sontuosi, con affreschi e decorazioni che rappresentano episodi della vita dei Santi Martiri e altre scene bibliche. Questi affreschi, opera di artisti barocchi di grande talento, sono realizzati con una tale maestria che sembrano quasi prendere vita. Particolarmente notevoli sono gli altari laterali, ciascuno dedicato a un santo diverso e adornato con sculture e pitture di grande valore. L'altare maggiore, imponente e riccamente decorato, è il fulcro visivo della chiesa, dominato da un bellissimo tabernacolo dorato e da statue che esprimono una profonda spiritualità. Uno degli elementi più affascinanti della Chiesa dei Santi Martiri è la cappella della Madonna delle Grazie, un luogo di grande devozione popolare. La statua della Madonna, posta in un elegante nicchia decorata, attira molti fedeli e visitatori che vengono a pregare e a chiedere intercessioni. L'atmosfera in questa cappella è particolarmente intima e carica di spiritualità. La chiesa è anche un luogo di silenzio e riflessione, perfetto per una pausa dalla frenesia urbana. La luce soffusa che entra dalle vetrate crea un'atmosfera serena e contemplativa, invitando i visitatori a un momento di pace interiore. Inoltre, la posizione centrale della Chiesa dei Santi Martiri la rende facilmente accessibile e perfetta per una visita durante una passeggiata nel centro storico di Torino.

Consiglio vivamente di dedicare del tempo per esplorare questo capolavoro barocco e per lasciarsi ispirare dalla sua ricchezza storica e culturale.

(Translated by Google) The Church of the Holy Martyrs of Turin is located on Via Garibali, at the corner of Via Botero. It is dedicated to Turin's oldest patron saints: the martyrs Avventore Ottavio and Solutore, and has housed their relics since 1584. The church, built in the late 16th century to a design by Pellegrino Tibaldi, sealed the alliance between the Savoy dynasty and the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, housing the relics of Turin's patron saints. The interior was frescoed by the Jesuit Andrea Pozzo, and housed the city's first marble altar in the chapel of the Society of Saint Paul. The Jesuits were called to Turin in 1566 by the Venerable Society of the Catholic Faith to defend the faith at the time of the spread of the Protestant Reformation. Following the damage suffered during the siege of Turin in 1706, a new dome was built by Carlo Giulio Quadro, the choir was enlarged, and the interior was redecorated. The choir was decorated around 1629 by Isidoro Bianchi, the high altar was designed by Filippo Juvarra, and the most notable work is the altarpiece depicting the Madonna with the Three Martyred Patron Saints of Turin, by Gregorio Guglielmi. (Original) La chiesa dei Santi Martiri di Torino si trova in via Garibali all'angolo con la via Botero.E' dedicata ai più antichi patroni di Torino: i martiri AVVENTORE OTTAVIO E SOLUTORE e ne custodisce le reliquie fin dal 1584.La chiesa edificata alla fine del 500 su progetto di Pellegrino Tibaldi, sancì l'alleanza tra la dinastia Sabaudia e la Compagnia di Gesù i Gesuiti, accogliendo le reliquie dei Santi protettori di Torino. L'interno fu affrescato dal gesuita Andrea Pozzo, accolse il primo altare marmoreo della città nella cappella della compagnia di San Paolo.I Gesuiti erano stati chiamati a Torino nel 1566 dalla venerabile compagnia della fede cattolica per la difesa della fede all'epoca della diffusione della riforma protestante. A seguito dei danni subiti durante l'assedio di Torino del 1706 venne costruita la nuova cupola ad opera di Carlo Giulio Quadro, ingrandito il coro e ridecorato l'interno. Il coro fu Decorato nel 1629 ca per opera di Isidoro Bianchi, l'altare maggiore è stato progettato da Filippo Juvarra, l'opera più notevole è la pala dell'altare maggiore raffigurante la Madonna con i tre santi martiri patroni di Torino opera di Gregorio Guglielmi.

(Translated by Google) This church in the heart of the historic center of the city on Via Garibaldi was built by the Jesuits to guard the relics of the holy martyrs, today it appears to us after the various modifications that occurred over the various centuries, and perhaps in my opinion one of the most beautiful churches in the historic centre. sumptuous rich in precious marbles of which the church is covered for almost half of the building and both for the golden friezes and the use of gold leaf that wraps and covers carved in wood, stucco and the beautiful pulpit as well as the organ placed at the top of the entrance, the altar is very reminiscent of the splendor and elegance of Roman churches and the soft light of the 800 skull basket chandeliers creates a rarefied atmosphere in the refraction on all the golden surfaces (Original) Questa chiesa nel cuore del centro storico della città su via Garibaldi fu costruita dai gesuiti per custodire le reliquie dei santi martiri,oggi giorno appare a noi dopo le diverse modifiche accorse nei vari secoli ,e forse a mio giudizio una delle chiese del centro storico più sfarzose ricca di marmi pregiati di cui la chiesa e rivestita quasi per metà dell' edificato e sia per i fregi dorati e l uso della foglia d oro che avvolge e riveste scolpito in legno,stucchi e il bellissimo pulpito oltre che l organo posto sulla sommità dell' entrata,l altare ricorda molto i fasti e l eleganza delle chiese romane e la luce soffusa dei lampadari a cestino 800 teschi crea un atmosfera rarefatta nella rifrazione su tutte le superfici dorate

The church is cool by itself but its symbol of a night life zone in turin. In front of entrance my fav bars placed and behind is full of more economic and nice bars as well. Around the church is strange neighbourhood and you know if you know.

It's an amazing church. But if you go behind it there's a square with bars and it's a common place for the youth of Turin to hanging.

One of my favorite places in Turin for his Bar and Restaurants .

It's good for enjoying some boring nights

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful building. I wish we could see the inside. (Original) Güzel bir yapı. Keşke içerisini de görebilseydik.

(Translated by Google) it dates back to the end of the sixteenth century. Built on a pre-existing church from the 1200s. In 1678 the church was remodeled again by the architect Antonio Bettino, former collaborator of the famous Guarino Guarini, and equipped with the large dome that surmounts the central nave. At the behest of King Vittorio Amedeo II, in 1728 the church was entirely handed over to the Mauritian Order and the Archconfraternity, which thus took the name of the Royal Archconfraternity of Saints Maurice and Lazarus and the church therefore became the «magistral basilica of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus." (Original) risale alla fine cinquecento. Costruita su a chiesa preesistente del 1200. Nel 1678 la chiesa fu nuovamente rimaneggiata dall'architetto Antonio Bettino, già collaboratore del celebre Guarino Guarini, e dotata dell'ampia cupola che sormonta la navata centrale. Su volere di re Vittorio Amedeo II, nel 1728 la chiesa fu interamente ceduta all'Ordine Mauriziano e all'Arciconfraternita, che così assunse il nome di Regia Arciconfraternita dei Santi Maurizio e Lazzaro e la chiesa divenne quindi «basilica magistrale dell'Ordine dei Santi Maurizio e Lazzaro».

(Translated by Google) Originally, there was a 12th-century Romanesque chapel dedicated to St. Paul—restored by the Brotherhood of Santa Croce in the 16th century.   • Between 1679 and 1699, Antonio Bettino (a Guarini collaborator) designed a Baroque-style reconstruction with a massive dome.  • In 1728, King Victor Amadeus II donated the church to the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, which oversaw the adjacent hospital and institution.   ⸻ 🏛 Architecture & Interior • The building has a central plan in the shape of a Greek cross, with its axis rotated relative to the city's measurements—a characteristic urban layout of Juvarra.  (Original) Pierwotnie istniała tu romańska kaplica z XII wieku, dedykowana św. Pawłowi — odnowiona przez Bractwo Santa Croce w XVI w.   • W latach 1679–1699 Antonio Bettino (współpracownik Guariniego) zaprojektował przebudowę w stylu barokowym z potężną kopułą.  • W 1728 świątynia została przekazana przez króla Wiktora Amadeusza II Zakonowi Świętych Maurycego i Łazarza, opiekującemu się przyległym szpitalem i instytucją.   ⸻ 🏛 Architektura & Wnętrze • Budynek ma plan centralny w kształcie krzyża greckiego z osią obróconą względem miar miejskich — charakterystyczny układ urbanistyczny Juvarry. 

(Translated by Google) A beautiful basilica from the late 16th century, when an existing Romanesque church dating back to 1207 was restored. From the outside, the façade looks very austere and somewhat gloomy because it is located on a central street, but a little removed from the city's historic center. (Original) Bonita basilica  de finales del siglo XVI, cuando se llevó a cabo la restauración de una iglesia románica ya existente datada del año 1207. Por fuera se vé muy austera la fachada y un poco sombria porque queda muy esquinada en una calle céntrica pero un poco apartada del centro histórico de la ciudad.

(Translated by Google) Small but welcoming and elegant church. The only place in Turin where mass is celebrated in the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite (vetus ordo) with Gregorian chant, every Sunday at 11. Absolutely recommended experience to do at least once. (Original) Chiesa piccola ma accogliente ed elegante. Unico posto a Torino dove si celebra la messa nella forma straordinaria del Rito Romano (vetus ordo) con canto gregoriano, ogni domenica alle 11. Esperienza assolutamente consigliata da fare almeno una volta.

(Translated by Google) The Archconfraternity of Mercy of Turin is an institution of great historical and architectural importance. Founded in 1578 and dedicated to the assistance of prisoners, the confraternity acquired the church formerly of the nuns of Santa Croce in 1720, naming it after San Giovanni Decollato. This church is located in a strategic position, thanks to the opening, in 1726, of a new road connecting to the current Via Garibaldi, which allowed the church to become a significant architectural backdrop. In 1751, due to structural problems, it was decided to demolish a large part of the old building. The task of designing a new church was entrusted to the architect Filippo Nicolis di Robilant. The new building, based on a Greek cross plan covered by a cap, has a presbytery with a basket dome of Guarini origin and a high altar designed by Francesco Benedetto Feroggio in 1792. The church, as a whole, shows a very late Baroque physiognomy fascinating. However, the facade of the church, a markedly neoclassical work by Gaetano Lombardi from 1828, creates an interesting contrast with the baroque interior. This contrast between architectural styles makes the church of San Giovanni Decollato a unique example of the integration of different artistic influences in a single building. Unfortunately, during my visit, I was unable to explore the interior of the church as it was closed. However, the exterior itself is worth admiring for its beauty and historical value. I certainly intend to return to appreciate the interiors, which promise to be equally fascinating. In conclusion, the Archconfraternity of Mercy of Turin and the church of San Giovanni Decollato represent an important stop for anyone interested in the history and architecture of the city. Their centuries-old history and mix of architectural styles offer a precious testimony to Turin's rich cultural heritage. (Original) L'Arciconfraternita della Misericordia di Torino è un'istituzione di grande rilievo storico e architettonico. Fondata nel 1578 e dedicata all'assistenza dei carcerati, la confraternita ha acquisito nel 1720 la chiesa già delle monache di Santa Croce, intitolandola a San Giovanni Decollato. Questa chiesa si trova in una posizione strategica, grazie all'apertura, nel 1726, di una nuova strada di collegamento con l'attuale via Garibaldi, che ha permesso alla chiesa di diventare un significativo fondale architettonico. Nel 1751, a causa di problemi strutturali, si decise di demolire gran parte della vecchia costruzione. L'incarico di progettare una nuova chiesa fu affidato all'architetto Filippo Nicolis di Robilant. Il nuovo edificio, basato su un impianto a croce greca coperta da una calotta, presenta un presbiterio con cupola a cestello di derivazione guariniana e un altare maggiore disegnato da Francesco Benedetto Feroggio nel 1792. La chiesa, nel suo complesso, mostra una fisionomia tardobarocca molto affascinante. Tuttavia, la facciata della chiesa, opera marcatamente neoclassica di Gaetano Lombardi del 1828, crea un interessante contrasto con l'interno barocco. Questo contrasto tra stili architettonici rende la chiesa di San Giovanni Decollato un esempio unico di integrazione di diverse influenze artistiche in un unico edificio. Purtroppo, durante la mia visita, non ho potuto esplorare l'interno della chiesa poiché era chiusa. Tuttavia, l'esterno stesso merita di essere ammirato per la sua bellezza e il suo valore storico. Intendo certamente tornare per poter apprezzare anche gli interni, che promettono di essere altrettanto affascinanti. In conclusione, l'Arciconfraternita della Misericordia di Torino e la chiesa di San Giovanni Decollato rappresentano un'importante tappa per chiunque sia interessato alla storia e all'architettura della città. La loro storia secolare e la commistione di stili architettonici offrono una preziosa testimonianza del ricco patrimonio culturale torinese.

It is a church with a single nave richly decorated with valuable stuccoes and marbles. the main altar adorned in classic pre-conciliar style is home to celebrations in Latin.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful mass in the Tridentine Rite, in an astonishing church, an almost unreal environment, among devout people who really make us perceive what the sacredness of the mass is, something impossible to experience with a post-CV II "Catholic-modernist" mass, which is the ugly copy of a Protestant mass. A true medicine for the soul, and an excellent method to rediscover our roots. (Original) Bellissima messa in Rito Tridentino, in una chiesa stupefacente, un ambiente quasi irreale, tra gente devota che fa percepire realmente cosa sia la sacralità della messa, cosa impossibile da provare con una messa "cattolica-modernista" post CV II, che è la brutta copia di una messa protestante. Una vera medicina per l'anima, ed un ottimo metodo per riscoprire le nostre radici.

(Translated by Google) I happened to attend some religious functions, celebrated in Latin and sung with stupendous performances Madrigalizsche, sung in Latin, found in this graceful glimpse of Turin, the retreat of the Spirit, not only through the eyes, admiring the beauty of the place of cult, but also of the ear, admiring and appreciating suggestions of the past, while not forgetting that it is commonly called "the Church of the hanged" when capital punishment was still in force, which took place at the "rondó dla forca", (at the Rondó della forca ). During the execution they were then blessed and buried in the cemetery, behind the "Balon", now deconsecrated, until recently there were beautiful concerts of Celtic music and not only that, unfortunately Turin is continually mistreated by successive municipal councils, such as the latter which massacred us, losing the book and car fair. Turin has been plundered of everything, by Fert, the cinema was born here, by the boogianen, and thieving Rome has plundered us, as well as the "Film Festival, which was born in Turin, they have also reduced it to a flicker. Fashion was born in Turin, and this was plundered by the Milanese, just as Telecom, formerly Sip, a Piedmontese hydroelectric company, was plundered from us, since it was originally its real name, since there were 5 sisters who had divided the Italian territory among themselves , namely Sip, Teti, Timo, Telve and Stet, which became the owner of IRI, which subsequently became Iri-Stet for international telephony, then there was italcable, derived from cablegrams, telegrams transmitted via cable, which led to the submarine cables that connected Rome with New York. We must remember that the telephone was not born in Turin, but the consortium that was born included the Aosta Valley and Piedmont, but thanks Valdostano, Mr. Manzetti, who was a multifaceted inventor, from capsule microphones to carbon microphones, to automatons, of which there are some that play, which can be visited at the museum in Aosta, dedicated to him. However, it was neither Meucci nor Bell who appropriated Meucci's projects, but it was Manzetti who invented the telephone, since before anyone else he also invented the handset, commonly called cornet, subsequently, that of the other inventors was incomplete , since it was necessary to hold a zinc plate in the mouth, which acted as a pseudo microphone, exploiting the acidity of saliva, the real microphone, that is, the first microphone was invented by Manzetti, who applied it before all the others to his working telephone. In Turin they robbed us of Eri - RAI, and yes, Nicola Tesla's Radio, and not of Marconi who copied his projects, and with the help of the English government, sponsored his research, was able to patent the Radio. Although there is documented evidence from a few years earlier, Nicola Tesla invented a radio-controlled boat. Well, once the Radio was invented, the first experiments and regular broadcasts took place in Turin, from Eri, even when television was born, Eri began to carry out experiments and regular broadcasts, the Dab, yes, was born in Turin at the Polytechnic. The Internet was born at the Polytechnic of Turin through the use of the electricity distribution cable, already then it was possible to surf at 100Mbit, but someone didn't want it, in order to be used as a detector of electricity consumption, inventing time slots, charging the highest consumption during cooking hours! However, if you have time, go and visit the Church of the Hanged, paying respect to the place of worship! (Original) Mi è capitato di assistere ad alcune funzioni religiose, celebrate in latino e cantate con stupende esecuzioni Madrigalizsche, cantate in latino,, trova in questo scorcio grazioso di Torino, la ritenpranza dello Spirito, non solo attraverso gli occhi, ammirando la bellezza del luogo di culto, ma anche dell'orecchio, ammirando e apprezzando suggestioni del passato, pur non dimenticando che viene chiamata comunemente " la Chiesa degli impiccati" quando ancora vigeva la pena capitale, che si svolgeva al "rondó dla forca", (al Rondó della forca). Nell'esecuzione venivano poi benedetti e seppelliti al cimitero, dietro il "Balon", ora sconsacrata, fino a poco tempo fa si svolgevano dei bei concerti di musica Celtica e non solo, purtroppo Torino è continuamente bistrattata dalle giunte comunali che si susseguono, come quest'ultima che ci ha massacrato, perdendo il salone del Libro, dell'auto. Torino è stata depredata di tutto, dalla Fert, il cinema nacque quì, dai boogianen, e Roma ladrona ci ha depredato, come pure il "Film Festival, che nacque a Torino, c'è l'hanno pure ridotto a lumicino. La Moda nacque a Torino, e questa è stata depredata dai milanesi, come ci hanno depredato la Telecom, ex Sip, società idroelettrica piemontese, poiché in origine era il suo vero nome, dacché vi erano la 5 sorelle che si erano spartiti il territorio italiano, appunto la Sip, la Teti, la Timo, la Telve e la Stet, che divenne proprietaria dell'IRI, che divenne successivamente Iri-Stet per la telefonia internazionale, poi c'era l'italcable, derivata dai cablogrammi, telegrammi trasmessi via cavo, che sfociò nei cavi sottomarini che collegava Roma con New York. Bisogna ricordare che il telefono nacque non proprio a Torino, ma il consorzio che nacque, comprendeva la Valle d'Aosta e il Piemonte, ma grazie Valdostano, sig. Manzetti, che era un inventore poliedrico, dalla capsula microfoni a a carboni, degli automi, di cui, v'è ne sono alcuni che suonano, che si potranno visitare al museo di Aosta, dedicato a lui. Comunque, non sono stati né Meucci, né tantomeno Bell che si appropriò dei progetti di Meucci, ma ad'inventare il telefono fu bensì Manzetti, poiché prima di tutti inventò anche il microtelefono, chiamato volgarmente cornetta, successivamente, quello degli altri inventori era incompleto, dacché bisognava tenere in bocca una lamella di zinco, che fungeva da pseudo microfono, sfruttando l'acidità della saliva, il vero microfono, cioè il primo microfono fu inventato da Manzetti, che lo applicò prima di tutti gli altri al suo telefono funzionante. A Torino ci hanno depredato la Eri - RAI, e già, la Radio di Nicola Tesla, e non di Marconi che ha copiato i suoi progetti, e con l'aiuto del governo inglese, sponsorizzò le sue ricerche, potè brevettare la Radio. Pur essendoci prove documentate di alcuni anni prima, Nicola Tesla, inventò un battello Radiocomandato. Ebbene, una volta inventata la Radio, i primi esperimenti e le trasmissioni regolari si svolgevano a Torino, dalla Eri, anche quando nacque la televisione, la Eri incominciava a fare gli esperimenti e le trasmissioni regolari, il Dab, è sì, nacque a Torino al Politecnico. Internet attraverso l'impiego del cavo di distribuzione di energia elettrica nacque al Politecnico di Torino, già allora si poteva navigare a 100Mbit, ma qualcuno non volle, per poter essere impiegato come rivelatore di consumi elettrici, inventando le fasce orarie, addebitando i il maggior consumo nelle ore dove si cucina! Comunque, se avete tempo, andate a visitare la Chiesa degli impiccati, portando rispetto al luogo di culto!

(Translated by Google) The church of San Dalmazzo, located on the corner of Via Garibaldi and Via delle Orfane in the historic center of Turin, is one of the oldest religious buildings in the city, with origins dating back to the 11th century. In 1271, it was entrusted to the Canons of Sant’Antonio di Ranverso and, in 1530, given the poor condition of the building, it was rebuilt. In 1609, it passed to the Barnabites, very close to the Savoy, as confessors and spiritual fathers of some members of the royal family, and a series of restorations, reconstructions and expansions were started, also modifying the facade, damaged by the French siege of 1706 and completing the construction of the bell tower. Between 1883 and 1885, the interior was transformed in neo-Gothic style, eliminating part of the previous additions and designing a new facade, as evidenced by an image from 1893, which however was never built. During the Second World War, the building was hit by bombings on 20 November 1942 and 13 July 1943, resulting in the shattering of window frames and the detachment of the roof covering, which had already been restored in June 1944. A final, major restoration was completed in 1959, as the plaque above the entrance portal recalls. The church has a Baroque-inspired exterior with Corinthian pilasters on two levels and five large windows, while in the upper part, two lateral volutes connect with the attic of the central nave, crowned by a semicircular tympanum that overlooks a large fresco. The interior, with three naves and a transept, is characterised by the 19th-century decorations of the painter Enrico Reffo (1831-1917) and his school, who painted in encaustic (i.e. with hot wax colours spread on the plaster) two long processions of figures on a gold background: penitents, widows, mothers, virgins, children, doctors of the Church, prophets, monks. In the left nave, there is a "Deposition" by Giovanni Antonio Molineri dating back to 1636 while in the first bay on the right, the ancient baptismal font is preserved, surmounted by a fresco by Francesco Gonin from 1885. Noteworthy is the pulpit inlaid in Carrara marble with the effigy of the parish priest Filippo Montuoro in memory of the renovation works. Among the many plaques on the walls, pillars and in the basement that testify to the history of the building, the sculptural group holding the bust dedicated to the famous tenor Francesco Tamagno stands out, who began singing as a teenager in this very church. (Original) La chiesa di San Dalmazzo, situata all'angolo tra via Garibaldi e via delle Orfane nel centro storico di Torino, è uno degli edifici religiosi più antichi della città, con origini che risalgono all'XI secolo. Nel 1271, fu affidata ai Canonici di Sant’Antonio di Ranverso e, nel 1530, date le cattive condizioni in cui versava lo stabile, fu ricostruita. Nel 1609, passò ai Barnabiti, molto vicini ai Savoia, come confessori e padri spirituali di alcuni componenti della famiglia reale, e furono avviati una serie di restauri, ricostruzioni e ampliamenti, modificando anche la facciata, danneggiata dall'assedio francese del 1706 e completando la costruzione del campanile. Tra il 1883 e il 1885, l'interno fu trasformato in stile neogotico, eliminando parte delle aggiunte precedenti e progettando una nuova facciata, come testimonia un'immagine del 1893, che però non fu mai realizzata. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'edificio fu colpito dai bombardamenti del 20 novembre 1942 e del 13 luglio 1943 e riportò lo schiantamento degli infissi e il distacco della copertura del tetto che già nel giugno del 1944 risultava ripristinata. Un ultimo, grande restauro fu completato nel 1959 come ricorda la lapide posta sopra il portale d'ingresso. La chiesa presenta un esterno d'ispirazione barocca con lesene corinzie su due livelli e cinque finestroni mentre, nella parte superiore, due volute laterali si raccordano con l'attico della navata centrale, coronato da un timpano semicircolare che sovrasta un grande affresco. L'interno, a tre navate con transetto, è caratterizzato dalle decorazioni ottocentesche del pittore Enrico Reffo (1831-1917) e della sua scuola, che dipinsero ad encausto (ovvero con colori a cera stesi a caldo sull’intonaco) due lunghe processioni di personaggi su fondo oro: penitenti, vedove, madri, vergini, bimbi, dottori della Chiesa, profeti, monaci. Nella navata sinistra, si trova una "Deposizione" di Giovanni Antonio Molineri risalente al 1636 mentre nella prima campata di destra è conservato l'antico fonte battesimale, sovrastato da un affresco di Francesco Gonin del 1885. Notevole è il pulpito intarsiato in marmo di Carrara con l’effigie del parroco Filippo Montuoro a ricordo dei lavori di rinnovamento. Fra le molte lapidi presenti su pareti, pilastri e nei sotterranei che testimoniano la storia dell'edificio, spicca il gruppo scultoreo a reggere il busto dedicato al celebre tenore Francesco Tamagno che cominciò a cantare da adolescente proprio in questa chiesa.

(Translated by Google) Built in the 11th century, it underwent a renovation in 1702 in Baroque style thanks to donations from the Savoys and one later in 1885 in neo-Gothic style. The church has three naves, but the lateral ones are small in size. Inside it features numerous neo-Byzantine paintings and marbles. (Original) Costruita nell'XI secolo, ha subito un rinnovo nel 1702 in stile barocco grazie alle donazioni dei Savoia e uno più tardi nel 1885 in stile neogotico. La chiesa ha tre navate, ma quelle laterali hanno dimensione ridotta. All'interno presenta numerosi dipinti e marmi neobizantini.

(Translated by Google) On the outside, the church appears in the form it assumed at the beginning of the eighteenth century, in a fully baroque style: pilaster strips of the Corinthian order, arranged on two levels, frame the large windows that illuminate the interior and the central portal. A final upper central body, bearing a fresco in the centre, is crowned by a semicircular tympanum and connected to the rest of the front by volutes. On the left, half hidden by a building overlooking the street, is the bell tower. The interior develops on a plan with three naves with transept, all characterized by the nineteenth-century neo-Gothic mantle, traceable for example in the aedicules, in the pulpit, in the tabernacle and in the Easter candle. (Original) All'esterno, la chiesa appare con la veste assunta all'inizio del Settecento, di gusto pienamente barocco: lesene di ordine corinzio, disposte su due livelli, inquadrano i finestroni che illuminano l'interno e il portale centrale. Un ultimo corpo centrale superiore, recante al centro un affresco, è coronato da un timpano semicircolare e raccordato al resto del fronte tramite volute. A sinistra, seminascosto da un palazzo affacciato sulla via, è posto il campanile. L'interno si sviluppa su una pianta a tre navate con transetto, il tutto caratterizzato dal manto neogotico ottocentesco, rintracciabile ad esempio nelle edicole, nel pulpito, nel ciborio e nel Cero pasquale.

(Translated by Google) A very particular church, almost completely camouflaged by the surrounding buildings. However, it is of fine workmanship although not as imposing as other churches in the city (Original) Una chiesa molto particolare, quasi del tutto camuffata dagli edifici circostanti. Comunque di pregevole fattura seppur non imponente come altre chiese della città

(Translated by Google) The church is beautiful. It could use some extra maintenance... (Original) La chiesa é bella. Avrebbe bisogno di un po' di manutenzione extra...

We have been twice, early and always locked. Very disappointing.

Beautiful.

(Translated by Google) Church built in 1582 in the center of the city, very well maintained (Original) Iglesia construida en 1582 en el centro de la ciudad muy cuidada

(Translated by Google) The church, originally dedicated to Saints Philip and James, stands in the street of the same name on the corner of Via S. Chiara surrounded by other interesting churches and attractions of the city. The original construction dates back to the 12th century but, as is common in other city churches, it underwent alterations until the 19th century. Two curiosities are worth mentioning: the presence of a fragment of wall which dates back to a 15th century fresco dedicated to the Virgin, while inside the small church there is a well where some French soldiers who died in battle during the siege of the city were buried. of 1706. It is not a masterpiece, but a church that is part of a consistent historical devotional path of other small city parishes, an emblem of faith, of the historical religious events of the city. I would like to point out that it is also the oldest church in the city and for tourists: if you stay in the city for a few days it is also worth visiting because it is located in the center and is in a convenient location while you can admire the most well-known and famous monuments, for the people of Turin it is a church to be "rediscovered". (Original) La chiesa, originariamente intitolata ai santi Filippo e Giacomo, sorge nell’omonima via angolo Via S. Chiara attorniata da altre interessanti chiese ed attrazioni della città. La costruzione originale risale addirittura al XII secolo ma, come frequente in altre chiese cittadine, ha subito rimaneggiamenti fino al XIX secolo. Da segnalare due curiosità: la presenza di un frammento di muro che risalirebbe ad un affresco del ‘400 dedicato alla Vergine , mentre all’interno della piccola chiesa si trova un pozzo dove vennero sepolti alcuni soldati francesi morti in battaglia durante l’assedio della città del 1706. Non è un capolavoro, ma una chiesa che fa parte di un consistente percorso storico devozionale di altre piccole parrocchie cittadine, emblema della fede, delle vicende storico religiose della città. Segnalo che è anche la chiesa più antica della città e per i turisti: se vi trattenete in città alcuni giorni è da visitare anche perché sorge in pieno centro ed è in una comoda ubicazione mentre si ammirano i monumenti più noti e famosi, per i torinesi è una chiesa da “riscoprire”.

(Translated by Google) I liked it because it is a very clean, well-kept church. THE MASS is celebrated with some prayers in Latin. I really liked the parish priest in his homilies and how the whole function is celebrated. Everything to the max (Original) Mi è piaciuta perché è una chiesa molto curata pulita .LA MESSA è celebrata co qualche preghiera in latino. Il parroco mi è piaciuto molto nelle sue omelie e come viene celebrata tutta la funzione. Tutto al massimo

(Translated by Google) The original church dates back to the 12th century and was dedicated to the Holy Apostles James and Philip. Between the 16th and 17th centuries it was completely rebuilt and in 1643 assigned to the Order of Saint Augustine. It was again extensively renovated between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th by the architect Carlo Ceppi. In 1706, the French prisoners who died during the siege of the city were buried in a well specially dug inside the church. The church has three naves punctuated by pillars on a basilica plan. Inside there are two important funerary monuments: that of the art collector Cassiano dal Pozzo, the work of an unknown artist, and the mausoleum of Cardinal Carlo Tommaso Maillard de Tournon, the work of Carlo Antonio Tantardini. The altarpiece of Saint Nicholas is attributed by some to Defendente Ferrari and by others to Spanzotti. The statue of the Immaculate Conception, located on the first altar, is by the Swiss sculptor Giovanni Battista Casella "de Monora". There is also, on a fragment of the wall, a valuable fifteenth-century fresco depicting the Virgin. (Original) La chiesa originaria risale al XII secolo ed era dedicata ai Santi apostoli Giacomo e Filippo. Tra i secoli XVI e XVII secolo venne integralmente ricostruita e nel 1643 assegnata all'Ordine di Sant'Agostino. Fu ancora ampiamente ristrutturata tra la fine del XIX secolo e l'inizio del XX ad opera dell'architetto Carlo Ceppi. Nel 1706, in un pozzo appositamente scavato all'interno della chiesa, vennero inumati i prigionieri francesi morti durante l'assedio della città. La chiesa è a tre navate scandite da pilastri su pianta basilicale. All'interno si trovano due importanti monumenti funebri: quello del collezionista d'arte Cassiano dal Pozzo, opera di artista ignoto, e il mausoleo del cardinale Carlo Tommaso Maillard de Tournon, opera di Carlo Antonio Tantardini. La pala di san Nicola è attribuita da alcuni a Defendente Ferrari e da altri allo Spanzotti. La statua dell'Immacolata, collocata sul primo altare, è dello scultore svizzero Giovanni Battista Casella "de Monora". Vi è inoltre, su un frammento di muro, un pregevole affresco quattrocentesco raffigurante la Vergine .

Interesting church

(Translated by Google) The church of the Holy Spirit of Turin, one of the oldest in the city, is located in the historic center between the Cathedral and the Town Hall. The current church built in 1763, is the reconstruction, designed by the architect G.B. FERROGGIO OF PREVIOUS CHURCHES that for over 4 centuries have hosted the archconfraternity of the Holy Spirit, founded in Turin in 1575 and still active in the practice of the Catholic faith and works of charity, as provided for in the original statutes. The church is a jewel of the Baroque era, full of works created by important artists active at the Savoy Court. Entering the church in the chapel on the right there is a wonderful wooden crucifix from the 16th century, already present at the foundation of the confraternity.

In the left part of the nave there is a wonderful "Procession Cross" by the famous court cabinetmaker Petro Piffetti. In the church there is a copy of the Holy Shroud, an object of devotion and admiration, the original of which is preserved in the Cathedral of Turin. It is possible to visit the church on Thursdays and Saturdays from 3 to 6 pm. (Original) La chiesa dello Spirito Santo di Torino,una delle più antiche della città, è situata nel centro storico tra il Duomo ed il Municipio.

(Translated by Google) From the outside it is anonymous, the interiors are splendid... On the area where the church of Corpus Domini and the Holy Spirit are located today, there existed in the sixteenth century a small church with a rectangular plan and a trefoil apse dedicated to St. Sylvester. Next to it there was an aedicule dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament based on a design by Sannicheli in 1528, with many paintings recalling the miracle of the leavening of the host (a plaque currently commemorates it inside the church of Corpus Domini). The church is the seat of the archconfraternity of the Holy Spirit. In 1662 the church of the Holy Spirit, designed by the architect Bernardino Quadri, as a separate building from the basilica of Corpus Domini. It was in this church that Jean-Jacques Rousseau's conversion to Catholicism took place on 21 April 1728. (Original) Da fuori è anonima,gli interni sono splendidi...Sull'area dove si trovano oggi la chiesa del Corpus Domini e dello Spirito Santo esisteva nel Cinquecento una chiesetta a pianta rettangolare e ad abside trilobata dedicata a S. Silvestro. Accanto si trovava un'edicola dedicata al Santissimo Sacramento su disegno del Sannicheli del 1528, con moltissime pitture rievocanti il miracolo della lievitazione dell'ostia (una lapide attualmente lo ricorda nell'interno della chiesa del Corpus Domini). La chiesa è sede dell'arciconfraternita dello Spirito Santo. Nel 1662 la chiesa dello Spirito Santo, su progetto dell'architetto Bernardino Quadri, come edificio separato dalla basilica del Corpus Domini. Fu in questa chiesa che il 21 aprile 1728 avvenne la conversione al cattolicesimo da parte di Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
