Museum of the Diocese of Cuneo

Museo Diocesano San Sebastiano was an abandoned church before it became a museum. After years of restoration, it now houses some of Cuneo's priceless paintings, oil canvasses, relics and some of the old things from the church. The museum also features a bookshop, set up in collaboration with the Library of Stella Maris Cuneo. The San Sebastiano Cafe can also be found inside the museum, a good place to get something to eat while touring this place.
