Impressive mountain-topped church with a panoramic view which is reachable by a walkway (portico) starting from Porta Saragozza, with over 600 archways - the longest in the world. If you don't want the uphill climb, you can take the San Luca Express tourist train for €13, or the 58 TPER bus (these are small and only run every 30 mins).
