The first stone of this church, designed by Tibaldi, was laid in 1557. The construction work was directed by Borelli and Vittozi. The church was built with a single nave of two spans and with a dome, planned by Quadro, which was built lengthways. Filippo Juvarra, the historic Torinese architect, designed the main altar behind which is the urn containing the remains of the Martyred Saints Solutore Avventore and Ottavio, who were both protectors of the city. An altar piece by the painter Guglielmi has been placed above the main altar. Inside the holy building are paintings depicting the Agony of Jesus, by Milocco, S. Ignazio by Vacca and S. Paolo by Zuccari. Open: 8a-noon, 4:30p-7p
