The Victory Lighthouse, also known as the Maddalena Lighthouse, is a colossal monument dedicated to the Winged Victory, located at the top of the Memorial Park near the Maddalena Hill. The optics of the lighthouse are located in the torch held in the hands of the imposing bronze statue, a work by the Turinese sculptor Edoardo Rubino.

A popular destination for locals and tourists alike, somewhat removed from the – sometimes hectic – hustle and bustle of the megalopolis of Turin, the "Colle della Maddalena" is the highest peak in the surrounding area at almost 700 meters. However, the mountain is crowned not by a summit cross or other small sacred monument, but by a female figure from Roman mythology: "VICTORIA," the goddess of victory.
