Monastery converted into a residence for monks, with panoramic views over Turin.
For a panoramic view of Turin, there's nothing better than climbing 283 meters to the lookout point of the Monte dei Cappuccini monastery. A former medieval fortress, this monastery was transformed into a residence for Capuchin monks in the 16th century. At the same time, in 1584 to be precise, plans were drawn up for the construction of the church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was completed in 1637. It has a central Greek cross plan, topped by an octagonal drum dome.

Monter est bien mais le voir depuis le niveau du Po est bien également, spécialement un jour de pluie.

Une église qui vaut plus le détour pour sa situation géographique permettant une vue panoramique sur Turin et l'arc alpin, que pour sa décoration. Attention, beaucoup de grimpette pour y accéder. L'église jouxte aussi le musée de la montagne.
The best at Turin and around
