The Mater Dei church is built in a modern architectural style, with sober lines. The church boasts an impressive block print by Alessandro Nastasio and three panels carved with a gouge, with spare traits, essential and of a high artistic level, that depict the cycle of the bread and the water. www.comune.prali.to.it

The Ecomuseo Regionale delle Miniere e della Val Germanasca (Regional Ecomuseum of the Mines and of Val Germanasca), in the town of Pali. The exhibition tells the history of the talc mines of Val Germanasca, that can be visited through the Tour Scopriminiera (Mine discovery tour), a striking trip in time to rediscover the life of the miners in the Turinese valleys. The museum tour includes an underground visit with the miners' little train, in the areas and the industrial buildings next to the mouth of the Paola Mine. The permanent exhibition is of great interest. www.ecomuseominiere.it
