The church has an heptagonal plan and is made up of 7 main towers to which are added the lower bodies of the chapels which also act as skylights. Inside, the ceiling has a pyramidal shape. The face of Christ was reproduced on the wall of the apse. The design of the architect Mario Botta has kept the old smokestack of the steelworks wrapped in a steel spiral.
Capital as well as cultural and business center of the Piedmont region, Turin is famous as headquarters of Fiat and Lancia, birthplace of Telecom Italia and Rai television and host of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Turin has a modern public transport infrastructure so it is easy to get to architectural sites and museums, most notably the Mole Antonelliana, which is the home of the National Cinema Museum. Home to Torino and Juventus, two historical italian football teams, the region is famous as the birth place of solid chocolate over 200 years ago. Gianduiotto is perhaps the most famous Turin chocolate currently in production.
