Deeper Into Rivoli
A medieval house with black-and-white stone facade, once home to Amedeo VI of Savoy. The exterior is beautifully preserved and plaques explain its history.
🕐 Exterior always visible; courtyard open Mon-Sat 09:00-13:00, 15:00-18:00.
💡 The courtyard is accessible during business hours for a quick look at the original well and arches. It's worth pairing with a walk along Via Roma.
A small 18th-century church with a simple baroque interior and a single nave. Free to enter, with a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.
🕐 Mon-Sat 09:00-12:00, 15:00-18:00; Sun 09:00-12:00 only.
💡 Look for the faded fresco above the altar depicting the Nativity – it was hidden for centuries under plaster.
