Basilica of Superga, Catholic church building in Turin, Italy
The Basilica of Superga stands on a hilltop with a 75-meter-tall structure, featuring a grand dome inspired by Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Duke Victor Amadeus II commissioned the basilica in 1706 after defeating French forces during the Battle of Turin in the War of Spanish Succession.
The Royal Crypt contains the tombs of the House of Savoy members, including kings of Sardinia and Italy, with monuments created by renowned sculptors.
Visitors reach the basilica via tram 15 to Sassi-Superga stop, followed by a historic tram journey ascending 3.1 kilometers up the hillside.
The rear wall marks the location of the 1949 aviation disaster that claimed the lives of the entire Grande Torino football team during dense fog.
