The Siege of Turin was the French attempt in 1706 to capture the capital of Victor Amadeus II of Savoy during the War of the Spanish Succession. After a siege of nearly four months, a relief army under Prince Eugene of Savoy joined the duke and defeated the French besiegers on 7 September 1706. The victory drove the French out of northern Italy and is commemorated by the Basilica of Superga.
