The Church of Santa Barbara Vergine e Martire (Italian : Chiesa di Santa Barbara Vergine e Martire) is a Roman Catholic place of worship, located in the city center of Turin.

History

The church was originally built within the walls of the Citadel of Turin during the 16th century, [1] however, in 1856, it was demolished along with the citadel itself, because it was too small to be able to keep up with the city center's growing population. [2] Santa Barbara was then rebuilt between 1867 and 1869 under the direction of architect Pietro Carrera, who designed the church in an eclectic style. [2] It was then consecrated in April 1869 by Archbishop Alessandro Ricardi di Netro. [3]
