Description
The basilica, dedicated to the nativity of Maria, was built at the beginning of the 18th century to a design by Filippo Juvarra and represents one of the most beautiful examples of baroque style. It was built for the will of Vittorio Amedeo II, and the princes and kings of the Savoy family are buried here with the exception of Carlo Alberto.
In the back of the church is a plaque in memory of the air disaster on 4th December 1949 in which 31 people died including all the members of the team of the Turin football club.
