Villafranca Piemonte

Overview

History and tradition at the gates of Turin

In its eight centuries of history, Villafranca Piemonte has been the scene of conquests, battles, passages of hands that have left in the village architectural and artistic works of rare beauty. A stop to add to your itinerary, if you are discovering the province of Turin

Before arriving at the town centre, stop at the Mission Naturalistic Grove, where the Chapel of the same name stands. Here, you can also indulge in an outdoor lunch, thanks to the picnic tables arranged in the area. 

Reach the historic center to admire the most evocative places of worship of Villafranca Piedmont: the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Graces, the Parish Church of Santo Stefano, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Good Remedy and many others. In the hamlet of Cantogno are also preserved the remains of the ancient Castle.

Do not miss the festivals and fairs that animate the village. The Festa di Cantogno, the Sagra dei Pescatori, the Sagra della Porchetta and the Fiera Commerciale dell 'Immacolata keep the local tradition alive.
