San Grato Vescovo is a Roman Catholic church located in Ivrea, Italy.

History

The church was built in the 18th century in the Borghetto district of Ivrea, outside the city walls, and is dedicated Gratus of Aosta, the second bishop of Aosta.

Description

The church is located in the Borghetto district of Ivrea, Piedmont, overlooking the waters of the Dora Baltea river near the Ponte Vecchio. Situated south of the river, it faces northeast. The neoclassical facade is characterized by Ionic pilasters and is divided into two sections. The lower section features the entrance portal, which opens onto Via Guido Gozzano, while the upper section contains a large rose window with stained glass that illuminates the interior. The facade is crowned by a large broken pediment. The bell tower rises in a recessed position to the right, with its belfry featuring four single-lancet windows and topped by a curved, square-based pyramid roof. The apse of the church overlooks the right bank of the Dora Baltea.
