パヴァローロの天然記念物・トップ15

The Victory Lighthouse, also known as the Maddalena Lighthouse, is a colossal monument dedicated to the Winged Victory, located at the top of the Memorial Park near the Maddalena Hill. The optics of the lighthouse are located in the torch held in the hands of the imposing bronze statue, a work by the Turinese sculptor Edoardo Rubino.

A popular destination for locals and tourists alike, somewhat removed from the – sometimes hectic – hustle and bustle of the megalopolis of Turin, the "Colle della Maddalena" is the highest peak in the surrounding area at almost 700 meters. However, the mountain is crowned not by a summit cross or other small sacred monument, but by a female figure from Roman mythology: "VICTORIA," the goddess of victory.

The largest park in Turin, on top of the hill on the right bank of the Po, where you can take several easy walks

View of Turin, top of the hill

The Andezeno cemetery is located at the top of a hill which offers a stupendous panorama over the entire surrounding countryside, up to the Turin hill and, beyond, up to the Alps. Inside, the church of San Giorgio al Cimitero, dating back to 12 century, very simple and elegant. Outside, the memorial park for the victims of the two world wars - with two cannons on display, which always leaves me a little perplexed. The park has tall, leafy trees and benches. Just inside the cemetery, drinking water point. It's a little out of the way, it's a blind road and you have to go there on purpose, climbing up rather steep slopes, but it's worth the effort. Recommended destination.

Square of the victory

The Turin hill is an excellent place to train inside the forest both uphill and downhill

Panoramic view at the top of the Turin hill. You go up from different paths, one more beautiful than the other. Some challenging, some less so.
