Waldensian Temple of Pra del Torno

Highlight • Religious Site

The historical heart of the Waldensian faith. A simple and austere temple, like all Protestant temples: here one comes to pray, not to show off that we are richer than our neighbors. Nevertheless, the structure is very beautiful. Panoramic position, with a beautiful view of the valley (and of the Catholic church further down). The fountain in front of the entrance is beautiful and convenient. The WC (always open) on the valley side is also convenient. Access to the structure is protected by a small gate, which is however always open - remember to close it after passing. [Attention when entering on the right: currently (May 2026) one of the retaining walls of the embankment has collapsed, and the terrace towards the mountain is widely roped off, you can barely pass.] The actual temple, however, is normally closed, because it's fine to trust, but there's a limit. The tombstones on the walls of the entrance vestibule are interesting. You really breathe an air of a sacred place, which I have found in few other places.
