Lanzo Torinese

Lanzo Torinese rises at 515 meters above sea level, positioned between flat lands and an amphitheater formation at the entrance of the Lanzo valleys.

The castle of Lanzo, constructed between 1011 and 1038 by Archbishop Landolfo of Turin, established the settlement as a central administrative point in the region.

The Ponte del Diavolo bridge, built from 1378 to 1380, represents the engineering capabilities of medieval builders and connects the town to the Turin region.

The Turin-Ceres railway line, completed in 1876, provides direct transportation access from Turin, making the commune accessible for both residents and visitors.

The Civic Tower, constructed between 1329 and 1357 under Aymon de Challant, now functions as a public library while maintaining its historical fortification structure.
