Basilica di Superga
This church contains the tombs of many members of the House of Savoy, including King Victor (King Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia), his wife, Queen Maria Teresa, and one of their daughters, Princess Marie Adelaide of Savoy. Also here is the tomb of King Victor's great-grandmother, Anne Marie d'Orléans, Queen of Sardinia, granddaughter of King Charles I and heir presumptive to King James III and VIII from 1715 to 1720; it is through her that the succession to the throne passed to the House of Savoy in 1807. |
