Santa Cristina, Turin, Baroque Catholic church in Piazza San Carlo, Turin, Italy
The Santa Cristina church features a large central nave, decorated ceiling with floral stuccos, and oval windows adorned with statues of saints.
Marie Christine of France purchased the land in 1639, initiating construction under Carlo di Castellamonte, while Filippo Juvarra completed the facade between 1715 and 1718.
The church forms part of Turin's twin churches arrangement in Piazza San Carlo, following an architectural pattern similar to Rome's Piazza del Popolo.
Visitors can explore the 1748 organ, multiple altars, and architectural details during regular opening hours, with guided tours offering additional information.
During the Napoleonic period of 1802, the building temporarily served as a stock exchange before returning to its religious function.
