Chiesa di San Vito

Chiesa di San Vito is a parish church on Turin Hill featuring a single nave running east to west with exposed brick walls typical of local architecture. The eighteenth-century facade defines its appearance above the surrounding landscape.

First recorded in 860, the church was substantially rebuilt in 1694. Its medieval bell tower from the original structure survived this reconstruction.

This place of worship serves the residents of Turin Hill and remains a focal point for the local community. Its simple brick exterior and humble proportions reflect the modest faith traditions of the surrounding area.

The church sits at 413 meters elevation on the road toward Colle della Maddalena, requiring a climb to reach it. A terrace beside the building provides an outdoor space where visitors can pause.

A cemetery occupied the grounds until 1951, when the remains were relocated after World War II. Today only a memorial cross marks where this burial ground once stood.
