The Church Of St. Hubert, Venaria, Turin, Italy Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Together with the Great Galley, the Church of St. Hubert is one of Juvarra’s masterpieces at the Reggia di Venaria. It takes its name from the patron saint of hunters, a reminder of the original vocation of the estate. Commissioned by Vittorio Amedeo II, it was constructed between 1716 and 1729. Juvarra conceived an imposing set of spaces on a Greek-cross plan, with two large altars at the ends of the transept and four chapels along the diagonal lines that are round inside, but polygonal on the outside.
