Side by side, the two churches of San Grato. The older one dates back to the 17th century, modified in the 19th century with the addition of two side naves—certainly useful, but they gave the whole structure a "squeezed" proportion. It was replaced in 1970 by the new church: today it is deconsecrated and somewhat neglected, but it remains interesting. The new church is next to the older one, separated by a secular building: it combines a Romanesque-style overall structure with modern forms in the pillars and architraves supporting the portico. In my opinion, it's more interesting than beautiful, but to each their own. That said, if you're passing through the town of Cafasse (even if only to avoid the traffic on the main road), it's worth stopping by.

Panoramic view of Lanzo station, which from here, with the mountain backdrop and the curve of the tracks, appears like a vintage postcard.

A stunning Gothic structure: at the base of a sturdy tower, a gate leads to the historic center of Lanzo, where you'll immediately encounter other well-restored and impressive Gothic structures. Another good reason to avoid the provincial road tunnel and head up to the village (two other good reasons are: 1. It's very dangerous; 2. Bicycles are strictly prohibited).

A town that appears flatter on the map, actually climbs quite steeply. The town's centerpiece is the Church of San Giorgio, at the foot of the castle—ancient, but with a 19th-century appearance (though still very beautiful). In front of the church is an interesting fountain, although unfortunately the water isn't drinkable. No problem, there's a smaller fountain 50 meters away in the direction of Alpignano. Is it worth leaving home to go there specifically? Maybe not. Is it worth a detour if you're in the area? Definitely.
