History
The church was originally built within the walls of the Citadel of Turin during the 16th century,[1] however, in 1856, it was demolished along with the citadel itself, because it was too small to be able to keep up with the city center's growing population.[2] Santa Barbara was then rebuilt between 1867 and 1869 under the direction of architect Pietro Carrera, who designed the church in an eclectic style.[2] It was then consecrated in April 1869 by Archbishop Alessandro Ricardi di Netro.[3]
