The church was rebuilt in the 18th century, but retains its original 11th-century exposed stone bell tower, creating a pleasant contrast between the austere lines of the bell tower and the Baroque care of the main structure. Located above the street, it is easily visible from below.

A beautiful village with several points of interest: the chapel of San Rocco, the isolated bell tower completely detached from the church, and further away, near the cemetery, the parish church. The access roads offer beautiful views.

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.
