Via Sacra di San Michele 34, 10057 Sant'Ambrogio di Torino
The castle of Sant'Ambrogio of Turin stands near the splendid mule track which from the historic center of the town rises in just over an hour to the Sacra di San Michele, a famous thousand-year-old abbey now a symbol of Piedmont. Rebuilt several times starting from the year one thousand one hundred, it was the seat where the abbot administered temporal power; definitively reduced to ruin in the eighteenth century by General Catinat, it remained practically abandoned until the end of the second millennium. Thanks to the will of several municipal administrations, regional and European contributions and a skilful restoration that was able to combine the ancient with the modern, it returns to life in the form of a hospitality structure as well as a public space.
