Description
The Basilica of Superga was built from 1717 to 1731 for Victor Amadeus II of Savoy by Filippo Juvarra, at the top of the hill of Superga, to fulfill a vow the duke (and future King of Sardinia) had made during the Battle of Turin.
The church contains the tombs of many of the princes and kings of the House of Savoy, including the Monument to Carlo Emanuele III (1733). Under the church are the tombs of the Savoy family, including most of its members (among them, King Charles Albert).

The mountain at which the Basilica is found was the site of the Superga air disaster of Grande Torino football team in 1949.
