As it stood in 1731
What Basilica of Superga looked like in its prime.
Massive hilltop church of pale ochre/terracotta rendered walls set on a raised white‑stone podium, dominated by a large lead‑covered hemispherical dome with a tall lantern and cross. A broad, temple‑front portico with a deep pediment and a colonnade of tall white marble columns projects from the drum; to one side a squared campanile with clock and open belfry rises. White stone balustrades, broad steps and a raised terrace wrap the base, framed by trees on the hill.
