Open the A–B study →Where can you see the Basilica of Superga?
Perched on a hill above Turin, the Basilica of Superga is one of the area’s most recognisable landmarks.
The map helps you explore places where its highest point might be visible, across Turin and the surrounding hills and mountains.
Two viewpoints to explore: Monte dei Cappuccini in Turin and the area beside Santa Maria Assunta church in Grana Monferrato.
How to read this map
Green areas show places where the top of the monument might be visible. Red areas show where terrain hides it. Yellow means the result is uncertain.
The map accounts for mountains and hills, but not every building, tree or weather condition. Seeing the top does not necessarily mean seeing the whole statue or basilica.
How far away can you see the Basilica of Superga?
Perched on the hills of Turin, the Basilica of Superga overlooks the city. Yet nearby hills can sometimes hide it, even from places close by.
The map shows that some places on the plain and on higher ground have a clear view towards its top, while others are hidden behind hills. Distance alone cannot tell you whether the basilica will be visible.
Two examples show the difference: Monte dei Cappuccini, 6 km away, and Grana Monferrato, 42.8 km away. Sightelo’s calculations suggest that the top of Superga could be visible from both places.
Where could you admire the monument?
These results come from a terrain model, not photographic observations.

Elevation used for the calculation: 747 m, combining the hill’s 672 m and the basilica’s 75 m, including the cross. A 744 m alternative, based on another documented hill elevation (669 m), was also studied. These references are neither an exact summit survey nor a confidence interval; their tie to EGM2008 remains unresolved.
Why does a 100 km radius not guarantee a view?
The 100 km radius defines the study area. Recognising the monument also depends on its apparent size, contrast and atmospheric transparency.
