Royal Crypt of Superga, Royal mausoleum in Turin, Italy
The burial site contains 62 tombs arranged in a Latin cross layout beneath the Basilica of Superga, adorned with marble decorations and sculptures.
In 1774, King Vittorio Amedeo III commissioned architect Francesco Martinez to construct this underground crypt, which was completed in 1778.
The mausoleum includes the central sarcophagus of King Carlo Alberto, who transformed Sardinia into a constitutional monarchy by signing the Statuto Albertino in 1849.
Access to the Royal Crypt requires guided tours lasting 45 minutes, with tickets available at specific times from the entrance office.
The entrance features a white Carrara marble sculpture depicting Saint Michael the Archangel defeating Lucifer at the bottom of the ceremonial staircase.
