Churches and traces of local history
The parish church of Santi Quirico e Giulitta was built in 1907 on the ruins of an earlier church belonging to the Augustinian monks. The Church of Santa Croce in Trofarello dates back to 1679. Those who wish to include sacred architecture and local history in their trip will encounter two churches with clearly dated origins and different historical backgrounds.
The Castello di Trofarello also broadens the historical perspective on the town. Its history dates back to 1209. The old tower of the Castello di Trofarello still stands today in the town’s public square. This means that a visible part of the castle complex is among the specific historical traces you can discover in Trofarello.
Routes between the town centre, countryside and sanctuary
The Anello di Trofarello starts and ends in Piazza Primo Maggio in front of the town hall. The route is fully signposted and passes through the historic centre of Trofarello.
The “Percorsi salesiani” in Trofarello are a historical and religious route. It leads from the Church of Santa Croce through the countryside of Trofarello to the Santa Maria di Celle sanctuary and consists of seven depictions of important events from the life of Don Bosco. The route therefore combines religious themes, countryside and a fixed sequence of stops.
Amarena di Trofarello: a regional flavour theme
The Amarena di Trofarello has a production area limited to the municipalities of Trofarello and Moncalieri in the Province of Turin. It consists of fresh fruit of the Prunus cerasus L. species, with delicate, translucent flesh and a tart flavour. For travellers who wish to include regional products in their exploration of the town, this clearly defined product provides a distinctive culinary accent.
On foot, by bicycle and as an announced festival
Marcé e Pedalé is a non-competitive walking and cycling tour through the countryside of Trofarello, combining nature, history, art and religious sights. At Marcé e Pedalé 2026, there was a route of approximately 10 kilometres on foot and a 20-kilometre route by bicycle. The different route lengths help with comparing the options and orienting your own planning.
A third edition of the Bike Festival was announced for Trofarello. The announced all-day event was intended for children, young people and families. Acrobatic bike trial shows by the Police Sport and Green Team teams, as well as technical activities led by Alessandro Gambino and his team, were planned.
