MUSEO CIVICO PIETRO MICCA E DELL'ASSEDIO DI TORINO

Dedicated to the patriot who made a decisive contribution to breaking the French siege of 1706, the museum stands on an area corresponding approximately to the centre of the front line of the enemy attack. Opened in 1961, it contains models, prints and relics from the time. The underground countermine passages lit by eighteenth-century lanterns are interesting and spectacular.
