The building was seriously damaged as a result of<br \/>\ndisagreements and repeated raids by Waldensian religious movements. The high altar, built by a craftsman from Thures at the beginning of the 18th<br \/>\ncentury, was later repainted by a master gilder from Pragelato using no less than six thousand sheets of gold: it features a panel of carved wooden columns framing the image of the baptism of Christ; on the baptismal font (1540), in green marble from Foresto, is carved the coat of arms of the Dauphins of France; the wrought iron lock (1534) on the side door is of exquisite workmanship. The bell tower, in pseudo-Romanesque style, has a square plan and is divided into five storeys: a high central spire with an octagonal section, embellished with four small triangular spires, rises above it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

It is a place where you can find traces of the past, such as the old bakery or the St Antonio Abate Chapel, known since 1498, that preserves frescoes dating from the late 15th<br \/>\nand early 16th centuries, attributed to the workshop of Pinerolo painters Bartolomeo and Sebastiano Serra. The exterior frescoes feature a majestic Last Judgement on the fa\u00e7ade, set according to medieval canons, while the side wall facing north features depictions of the Annunciation, St Michele, St Antonio, St Cristoforo and two small scenes dedicated to Good and Bad Communion and Confession. The recently restored interior houses scenes from the life of St Antonio, a suggestive crucifixion and a depiction of St Biagio. The large T of \u201cTAU\u201d, which the friars wore around their necks, appears in the shelters and churches where they worked and was also above the main door of the St Antonio Chapel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Built centuries ago, they have been a vital source of water for the villagers throughout the year. Many of them have been restored, maintaining their original appearance while ensuring efficient operation. The oldest was erected in the 16th century and, like most fountains in the upper valley, is octagonal in shape. Today it is located in the churchyard of the St Giovanni Battista Church, but it was originally in the small square next to the old communal bakery and the Chapel of St Rocco and St Giuseppe: it was transported to its current location entirely by hand by the people. In 2006 a smaller, hexagonal-shaped fountain was built in the same place as the old one. The two fountains in the beautiful historic centre of Jouvenceaux complete this important cultural heritage. The first is located from the Napoleonic time at the northern entrance to the hamlet: characterised by the rounded shape of the stones, it bears the mitered coat of arms of the Abbots of the St Lorenzo Provostry in Oulx. The second, on the other hand, built near the chapel, has three carved stones: one with the shield of France, one bears the date 1555 and one is decorated with a lily flower and a dolphin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

The Clot Sabouiller location was chosen, that already hosted the first real ski course in 1906 and that years later became the famous Sportinia. This first ski hut was dedicated to the memory of Adolfo Kind, a skiing pioneer and one of the founders, in 1901, of the Ski Club Torino. The Great War interrupted the affluence, which resumed with renewed vigour in 1919, also by members of the Ski Club Torino, so much so that in 1920, thanks to a bequest of 9,000 lire, it was enlarged. Capanna Kind underwent various renovations over time: the current building with two floors plus attic, by architects Cappa Bava and Panizza, was inaugurated on 16 November 1958 and with its architectural lines still stands out on the\u00a0 Sportinia plateau.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

Situated adjacent to the \u201cAssietta Road\u201d, the Lighthouse can be reached on foot or by bike and can also be approached by motorbikes and off-road cars. Recently renovated and once again illuminated thanks to the ANA group and the CAI subsection of Sauze d\u2019Oulx, it is the destination of many walkers who, along the historical path no. 8 from Richardette or passing by Lake Laune, can reach the summit to admire a fantastic 360\u00b0 panorama with the help of an orientation board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
