Chiesa di San Salvario

Chiesa di San Salvario, Roman Catholic church in San Salvario district, Turin, Italy

Chiesa di San Salvario is a Baroque church in Turin's San Salvario district, featuring multiple ornate altars and religious wall paintings that fill the space. The interior showcases detailed decorative work across all surfaces, creating a richly adorned environment throughout.

The present church was built in 1646 to designs by Amedeo di Castellamonte as a chapel for the Delizia del Valentino, the Valentino castle, at the wish of Christine of France. The Servites settled here on 28 May 1653 and added a convent in 1658 and a hospital. Expelled in 1802, they returned in 1825 and moved to San Carlo on 6 December 1840. In 1865 San Salvario ceased to be a parish and the convent was enlarged by Barnaba Panizza; the nearby railway extension later took its two cloisters and garden.

The name San Salvario appeared in a 1526 text as an alternative to San Salvatore. The Servites settled here on 28 May 1653 and added a convent in 1658; expelled in 1802, they returned in 1825 and moved to San Carlo on 6 December 1840. The convent later passed to the Daughters of Charity, who added an infirmary of San Vincenzo.

The church is easy to reach by public transportation and sits in an accessible location within the neighborhood. Visitors should check opening times before visiting, as the space is reserved for religious services.

The octagonal drum above the facade was meant to carry a dome that was never completed, so the church is topped by a pitched roof of terracotta tiles instead. The two symmetrical three-storey wings flanking it are what remains of the old convent, set back from the street line.
