From Turin: Half-Day Medieval Sacra di San Michele Private Tour
Depart Turin and journey to the Sacra di San Michele and get ready to experience one of the most beautiful abbeys of the Italian Alps.
Famous worldwide as the inspiration for Umberto Eco’s bestselling novel "The Name of the Rose", the Sacra di San Michele is regarded as one of the most important examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe.
It was founded on the summit of Mount Pirchiriano and overlooks the valley of the Val di Susa with breathtaking views of the Alps. To reach the marble "Doorway of the Zodiac" (Porta dello Zodiaco) visitors must climb 243 steps, but the unique view from the top is worth it.
Discover the whimsical 12th-century "Doorway of the Zodiac". Marvel at the steep stone staircase known as the "Staircase of the Dead" with its 18-meter high pillar that supports the floor of the church and the tower of the "Bell'Alda." Get an astonishing view of the valley and the "Via Francigena" before the return journey to Turin.
