Starting from the city center (Piazza Castello), you can reach the Colle di Superga and cross the 10 miles that separate him from Turin. The Basilica di Superga is a must for tourists.
From the plaza, which opens at the church, we enjoy a spectacular view, especially at sunset, when beyond the city, as a backdrop, emerging, in the shadows, the large chamber of the Alps.
Important figures such as Rousseau, Napoleon, Stendhal and Le Courbusier were struck by its charm.
Behind the Basilica in the distance you can see the hills of Monferrato
Advisory: Another "Turin" finished its season of glory here: the football team's Great Torino Calcio.
May 4, 1949, the plane carrying the team returned from Lisbon after the match victorious, because - perhaps - the bad weather crashed at the foot of the great wall behind the Basilique.31 people died: all the big team (including reserves), the six leaders and crew.
A large plaque reminds viisiteurs many who have not forgotten the tragedy.
