Chiesa del Santo Volto, Modern Catholic church in Turin, Italy

The building features seven towers arranged in a heptagonal layout, with a central hall illuminated through strategically placed skylights and windows.

Constructed between 2004 and 2006 on former industrial grounds, this church replaced the Bogaro steel mills as part of an urban renewal initiative.

The preserved industrial smokestack wrapped in stainless steel supports a 60-meter cross, connecting the religious structure with the area's manufacturing heritage.

The church complex contains parish facilities, city curia offices, conference spaces, and parking areas across its 26,300 square meters of floor space.

The pyramid-shaped roof spans 32 meters without support pillars, creating an open interior space with natural light filtering through fourteen perimeter skylights.
