Santa Maria di Piazza, Turin, Baroque and Neoclassical church in central Turin, Italy
Santa Maria di Piazza is a church in central Turin built with an elliptical floor plan and a complex dome structure. Its Neoclassical facade, added in 1830, creates the main entrance to the building where visitors first arrive.
Construction began in 1751 under architect Bernardo Antonio Vittone and the building was consecrated in 1768. Over a century later in 1890, two chapels were incorporated into the structure, modifying its original form.
Inside, there are religious artworks that reflect the faith and artistic traditions of Turin. These paintings line the walls and create a meditative space for visitors to experience the artistic heritage.
The church is located near Via Garibaldi in central Turin and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can explore the religious architecture and view the artworks inside at a leisurely pace.
The interior reveals an unusual blend of the original elliptical shape with elements added much later. These transformations make the building an interesting example of how structures evolve and adapt over time.
