Ceres is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Turin. The municipality is located in the Valli di Lanzo, at the confluence of the Val grande di Lanzo and the Val d'Ala, north-west of the Piedmontese capital.
Went up to Ceres for a few days to escape from the heat and to have a change of scenery.
The town thrives on residential tourism, due to the presence of many houses used as second homes, with the inhabitants coming from the Turin area, especially in the summer.
There are a few interesting strutures, such as:
- Parish Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary
- Sanctuary of Santa Cristina
- Romanesque bell tower of Santa Marcellina, with a square base, 21 meters high, survivor of a parish complex which collapsed due to a landslide
- Grande Albergo Miravalle, built in 1870 to accommodate tourism in the town and functioning until 1978. It currently appears as a fenced-in ruin, awaiting a complete renovation or a long- awaited functional reconversion.
