Martino with the Catholic Church, the Mauritian Priory, and the Fountain of Carlo Alberto and continues in the historic center to reach the Waldensian area, with the Temple, the Waldensian House where the Synod meets in assembly every year, the Waldensian Cultural Center Foundation with its museum, archives, and library; the Waldensian College, now a high school, and the Waldensian Forestry. Throughout the year, at the Civic Gallery of Contemporary Art Filippo Scroppo and at the Waldensian Cultural Center, it is possible to visit exhibitions and participate in meetings and conferences. Every year, the festival "A Tower of Books" is organized. Torre Pellice is the ideal base for hikers and mountain enthusiasts, who can quickly reach the alpine refuges and surrounding peaks.
