Santissima Trinità, Baroque church in central Turin, Italy
Description
Santissima Trinità is a baroque church in central Turin built with a circular floor plan featuring three entrances, altars, and choirs arranged symmetrically around the interior. The central dome rises prominently above the round structure, creating a unified visual space.
History
Construction began in 1598 and finished in 1606 under architect Ascanio Vitozzi, who was eventually laid to rest within the building. The facade underwent a neoclassical redesign in 1831, giving it the appearance visitors see today.
Culture
The steep entrance staircase faces the street and draws visitors into a space designed for formal religious gatherings and community processions. Inside, the three separate choirs created distinct areas where different groups could participate simultaneously in worship.
Practical
The church sits at Via Garibaldi 6 in Turin's central district, easily reached in an area with shops and other attractions nearby. Keep in mind that this is an active parish church, so visiting hours and access may depend on ongoing religious services and ceremonies.
Did you know?
The interior contains elaborate marble work and furnishings designed by Filippo Juvarra, a major architect of the Piedmont region whose designs shaped much of the interior experience. Frescoes by Francesco Gonin and Luigi Vacca complete the decoration throughout the space.
