San Francesco di Sales, Neoclassical church building in Valdocco district, Turin, Italy.

The San Francesco di Sales church features a prominent colonnade of six Corinthian granite columns and a grand staircase at its entrance point.

Between 1843 and 1850, architects Alfonso Dupuy and Carlo Ceppi designed this religious structure, with Queen Maria Cristina donating the land for construction.

The church maintains strong connections with the Salesians religious institute and contains multiple side chapels with altars created by Marabotti di Mondovi.

The church underwent substantial restoration work in 2010, focusing on preserving its neoclassical architectural elements and structural integrity.

The building follows a distinctive floor plan with a large round chamber intersected by a central cross, supporting a dome above the main space.
