Piazza San Carlo, one of Turin’s most precious gems, is shrouded in a history full of charm and intrigue! In this square we will see the characteristic "Twin Churches" : get ready!

Before arriving at the imposing Piazza Castello we stroll through this historic square where we find the Palace of the same name. Palazzo Carignano is one of Italy’s most impressive 17th-century palaces and home to the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento.

Piazza Castello was the vital center of aristocratic life during the period of the Savoia kingdom and still retains its central role in the heart of Turin. Framed by Turin’s characteristic porticoes, the city’s main streets run from here: via Roma, via Garibaldi, renowned for its affordable shopping, and via Po, which leads directly to the river of the same name.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. it’s one of the most important buildings in Turin. Originally a bishop’s palace, it was redesigned in the late 16th century at the behest of Duke Emanuele Filiberto when Turin became the capital of the Savoia dukedom.

The palace, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, houses the Civic Museum of Ancient Art. In the past, in place of this imposing building stood the Porta Decumana during the Roman era, which served as access to the city from the Po side. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the gate was converted into a fortress for defensive purposes. Ticket is not inlcuded (10€)
