Waldensian Church, Protestant church building in Turin, Italy
The Waldensian Church exhibits Romanesque Revival architecture with semicircular arches, robust forms, and two tall polygonal towers flanking the central rose window.
The construction of this church in 1851 by architect Luigi Formento marked the first time Waldensians could openly practice their faith within Turin's city limits.
The building represents the Waldensian movement's integration into Italian society, following centuries of restrictions on their religious practices outside city boundaries.
Located near Porta Nuova train station, the church welcomes visitors on Saturdays between 3 PM and 6 PM with volunteer guides providing historical information.
The interior combines Neo-Renaissance elements with three naves supported by round arches resting on Corinthian columns, differing from traditional Catholic church designs.
