Santa Croce, Baroque church in Turin, Italy
The Santa Croce church features ornate decorations on its facade, including statues of saints, allegories of virtues, and a central oval window.
The construction of Santa Croce began in 1620 under Carlo di Castellamonte and reached completion between 1715 and 1718 under architect Filippo Juvarra.
The church mirrors the adjacent San Carlo church in Piazza San Carlo, creating a symmetrical architectural arrangement similar to Rome's Piazza del Popolo.
The church maintains regular opening hours for religious services, with specific times displayed at the entrance for visitors and worshippers.
A Discalced Carmelite convent operated next to the church until 1802, when Napoleonic forces suppressed the religious order in Turin.
