Church of the Most Holy Annunciation and Saint Vincent (San Domenico)

Highlight • Religious Site

Officially "Church of the Santissima Annunziata and San Vincenzo", but known as "San Domenico" as it was originally founded by the Dominicans. The current church is from the seventeenth century, with a slightly later facade between baroque and neoclassical, and remains a little outside the actual historic center. It's difficult to come across it by chance, you have to look for it a bit, but it's worth it.

Historic Center of Racconigi: San Giovanni Battista Church and Park

Highlight • Historical Site

Basically the historic center of Racconigi: the church of San Giovanni Battista, other churches from different periods, historic buildings, and a beautiful park/garden with benches and a water point. Little gems a bit overshadowed by the fame of the Castle, but it's worth deviating a bit from the more beaten paths to visit them.

Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Racconigi

Highlight • Religious Site

Coming from the East, you pass through one of the ancient gates of the city, and arrive in a small square overlooked by the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the ancient hospital (today ASL headquarters), and other buildings. Nice effect, almost like a time machine.

Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Flowers

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful "double" sanctuary: a second more modern sanctuary has been added to the old historic sanctuary. Both overlook the main road and can be easily reached by cycle paths. Close to shrines, a sports center and a park. Nice place.

Grande Torino Memorial

Highlight • Monument

Simple but effective memorial to the Grande Torino who died in the Superga tragedy. The bull, symbol of the team, and a plaque with the names of the players who died in the accident. In my opinion, the names of the coaches would have been good too, because there would have been no Grande Torino without Egri Erbstein, but that's fine too.

Murals on the Highway Pillars – Caravaggio's Judith and Holofernes & Queen Elizabeth II

Highlight • Monument

Two of the pylons of the highway, those closest to the road, have been embellished with beautiful murals: a reproduction of Caravaggio's "Judith and Holofernes" with an attached portrait of Caravaggio himself, wrapped 360° on a pylon, and a portrait of the Queen Elizabeth II. An unexpected pleasant encounter in an otherwise uninteresting area. Congratulations to whoever conceived and created these works.
