Gran Madre di Dio

Piazza Gran Madre di Dio, Turin, Italy

 

If you cross the Po on the Piazza Vittorio bridge, you will find yourself directly in front of the Gran Madre di Dio church. It is a scenographic construction in a circular shape, built between 1818 and 1831 to commemmorate the return of Vittorio Emanuele I to Turin on the 20 May 1814. The church houses the remains of 5000 men who fell in the first world war. Note the access staircase with the two statues of Religion and Faith and, inside, the Crucifix and Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Open: Weekdays: 7:30a-noon, 4:30p-7p; Weekends: 7:30a-1p, 3:30p-7p, 8:30p-10p
