The Porta Savoia, also called the "Gate of Paradise," marks the western side of the former city wall. Its two massive, cylindrical towers date back to the 3rd or 4th century BC.

In the central Via Palazzo di Città (appropriately), practically side by side, are the two neoclassical structures of the Town Hall and the Church of San Carlo (the latter with Baroque echoes on its façade). The entire street is a marvel of interesting structures—note in particular the numerous frescoed buildings, often with decorative geometric motifs. This street is open to one-way traffic, so a little caution is required.

It tends to fade somewhat compared to the more famous and eye-catching bell tower of San Giusto, but this bell tower, clearly visible from above and located on a side street off the central Via Martiri della Libertà, is also noteworthy. The side street is actually called "Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore": this 10th-century church was later closed for worship and is now reused as a residential building. The bell tower remains, and it makes a fine impression on the Susa skyline. From the Parco di Augusto, you have an excellent view of the entire structure, and you can still see the outline of the medieval church, now converted into a residential building.

The church is located at the crossroads of Via Assietta and Via Madonna delle Grazie, three dirt roads that are part of the Via Francigena. From the south, the notable exposed stone apse stands out, topped by the circular structure, also made of exposed stone; from the north, the plastered façade, with its neoclassical forms, and the bell tower. I'm not entirely sure if you're allowed to get there by bike, but at worst, you can push it for a hundred meters.
