The Baroque Church of San Francesco da Paola in Turin

San Francesco da Paola is a Baroque-style Roman Catholic church located on Via di Po in Turin, Piedmont, Italy.

Construction of the church began in 1634 using designs by Pellegrino Pellegrini with the patronage of Christine Marie of France, Duchess of Savoy. It was built adjacent to a convent for monks of the Franciscan order.

The church was frescoed both on the interior and exterior of the facade by Francesco Guatier of Saluzzo. The main altarpiece was painted by Tommaso Lorenzoni, and the Chapel of the Holy Trinity houses a canvas by Sebastiano Taricco. In the choir, the paintings of six apostles were painted by Bartolomeo Guidoboni. In the last century, the adjacent convent was converted into a school.
