The Sanctuary of Maria Ausiliatrice

This is one of the oldest church in Torino and also quite famous, probably after Torino Duomo (catedral) and Basilica di Superga. This was built in 1865 by Prince Arnedeo di Savoia. This church has very beautiful painting of cupola (half ball roof on the center of the church). The main cupola, as this church has 2 copulas, has a diameter of 19 meters.

There are two big bell towers in the front of the church with angel statue above it. The right one represents Gabriel offers crown to Maria while the left one is Michele brings a flag written 'Lepanto'. This church is a holy place for Torino because the relief of Saint Ottavio, martyr and patron of Torino city is placed here.
