Turin, Italy skyline: the 50 most iconic buildings and best views in Turin

Fantastic palace as a residence for the House of Savoy to visit day and night ! First of all, the interesting 18th century baroque facade which was placed on the medieval building at the back. Then the interior monumental staircase which characterizes the monumentality and magnificence of the baroque palaces. The regent of Duke Charles-Emmanuel II, Christine de France, sister of Louis XIII, who calls herself "Madame Royale", chooses it as her personal residence.

A grand palace with a magnificent staircase which minis once drove down in The Italian Job. The museum is fantastic, with several stories of very varied exhibits, from austere Medieval Christian on the ground floor, and sumptuous Baroque above it, to a top tier of glossy porcelain and an amazing view on the roof.

Palazzo Madama in Turin is a masterpiece of layered history and Baroque elegance. The highlight upon entering is the grand staircase designed by Filippo Juvarra—a breathtaking architectural feature that feels almost theatrical. With its sweeping curves, marble balustrades, and dramatic play of light, the staircase alone is worth the visit. It sets the tone for the refined beauty and historical depth found throughout the palace.

I spent over four hours at Palazzo Madama, and not a minute felt wasted. The permanent collections are impressive, from austere medieval Christian art to flamboyant Baroque ceramics, each floor offers a distinct atmosphere and a clear narrative. You climb through centuries, not just stairs. What truly surprised me was how quiet the museum was ... even in peak season, it felt like I had the place to myself. No crowds, no noise, just art and silence. It’s rare to find such a rich collection in such a peaceful setting. If you’re tired of elbowing through tourists at the Egyptian Museum or Palazzo Reale, this is your sanctuary. 😍

Great palace in downtown center with amazing museum full of art and decorations. Also featuring a view tower.

The palace has become a large and diverse museum that has plenty of surprises: Renaissance paintings, with special attention for Defendente Ferrari; wonderful wood carvings; a vast collection of porcelain; baroque palatial rooms; a quiet and secretive most garden; great views over the city. Take your time to explore!

Very nice collection. There is panorama tower in this museum with view to area around the building. Some areas on underground and 1st floor are with very bad lighting. There were some coins and ceramics which I could not see at all. That should be upgraded. I added picture with vending machine which is in front of large painting from 1760. Just bad planning, because there were better places to put that machine.

Great place to visit. Lots of facts and really cool ideas of how to present the history of cinema. We saw the Art of James Cameron, so check the current options when in Torino. Also spectacular view on the city from the platform where fast elevator will take you.

Amazing museum filled with cinema history. We went during the James Cameron exhibition. The interactive parts were great and the props were very interesting to go through and learn about their movies. The only down side is that the dedication exhibition that changes could be smaller so that the main part had more cinema history related stuff. In addition to these the elevator is a must. The view of torino is amazing and one you don't want to miss. I also recommend getting tickets in advance since it can get crowded(having tickets for both the exhibition and the elevator can reduce the wait time drastically).

What an experience!! Even if you don’t like cinema, the way the Musuem is designed, it captures your attention. There is the technical historical part and there is the movies parts as well as the sets and pieces that you can see. Interactive and amazing experience. A must do in Turin

Great museum in the heart of Torino...One of the must see thing in this city... Second name museum of cinema... I think it's the tallest museum in the world... 167,5m...Around this building it's very crowded... So much people and markets with souvenirs... You can take nice pictures from the bottom or you can buy lift ticket and go up to see panorama of Torino... If you want you can go up by foot if you are in good condition... I recommend you to buy ticket for elevator and tour in advance... View from the top is amazing, all city and Alps... Inside you have to see nice museum... People who work there is so kind and helpful... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Torino...

It is a monumental building in Turin, located in the historic center, a symbol of the city and one of the symbols of Italy. Its name derives from its imposing height, 167.5 meters. Begun in 1863, when Turin was the capital of the newly formed Kingdom of Italy, it was completed at the height of the Belle Époque in 1889.

Mole Antonelliana is Torino’s most iconic landmark. The city itself offers a wide range of beautiful squares, magnificent views, and rich history, but the Mole remains the symbol of Torino and an absolute must-visit.

Loved it. Great way to explore cinema and film making. My 7yo and 9yo had plenty to see and do here. As a cinephile I found it a brilliant collection that is well constructed and curated.

Really nice park but a lot of things are being rebuilt. When it's done I'm sure 5/5. Will report back in a year or so upon my return.

Beautiful city park right on the water. Tons of paved walking routes to choose from, cafes dispersed within, beautiful gardens and fountains… Worth it.

It's a beautiful park with historical buildings onsite, lake, rickshaw rides, playground for the kids and also rope park.

Beautiful place. Plenty of places to eat and relax. Water fountains too. It rained and we didn’t find anywhere to wait though so bring an umbrella if the weather gets bad.

Beautiful park, with excellent views, green spaces, and multi -use paths. I felt I was the only tourist here, which I prefer, sinking into the local ways and eavesdropping on conversation fragments to improve il mio Italiano

It is the School of Architecture of the Politécnico di Torino, has an interesting hall with classical paintings

Parco Valentino is a very big park situated in the southern part of town just by the Po river. You enter it at Castello Valentino, an imposing 17c French Chateau, now Faculty of Architecture. Many paths are leading through the park just by the river. Around the middle is a mediocre Borgo Medivale, a medieval Disney like town which was closed. At the southern end is a terrific 12 months fountain. Great two hours spent walking this natural area

Nice Basilica to visit. Spectacular view from top of the mountain. I'm not a football fan so I haven't heard about Turin's team tragic aircraft crash near by. So it was something new to find out and learn. Speaking about Basilica's open time it is ridiculous.. Honestly.. It closes from 13:30 to 14:30.. Why? I understand if museum office might be closed but not church itself. We went in 13:18 and we were told by staff member that it is already closed.. 12 mins before schedule. Also pretty complicated to get there. Bus or funicular goes only once an hour..

Beautiful Basilica on top of a hill with panoramic views of Turin and the Po river. We used the Turin tourist card which I can't recommend enough. The staff were friendly and helpful. Beautiful views and an interesting story behind the Basilica.

Beautiful place on the top of a large hill overlooking Torino. Had a tour of the Royal Tombs of the House of Savoy. As well as the room with the collection of portraits of popes through history. The center gardens are beautiful. Unfortunately the day we were there visibility was poor so didn’t get the view of Torino so many talk about.

Lovely small church on top of the Superga mountain. You can take the historic tram up and down which comes once an hour. Inside the church are intricate carvings and dome, which to me was not unlike any other church in Catholic countries. Still beautiful of course. The dress code is not strict, I was worried I’d be stopped but I was fine wearing a tshirt and longer shorts. The highlight was climbing the narrow, winding staircase to the dome which gave you views of all the city. You can buy the ticket around the corner from the Basilica for €3 (reduced price for students). Normal price was €4. While there are many stairs to go up, I managed fine with a torn knee ligament so do not be discouraged. They also take note of who is going up or down so you will never have to turn back because you meet someone midway. There is also a free, clean public bathroom and water fountain around the corner, and you can keep walking down into the hiking trails.

The best place to view the city with the mountains in the back. In the morning there was a lot of mist so I think sunset here is amazing and the Basilica is open very late. A lot of people have their date here at the evening with a glass of wine.

A beautiful and serene basilica with amazing views out over Torino, and the Alps when the weather permits. A beautiful place to light a candle and say a prayer for a loved one or take a name card for someone who needs a prayer too.

I love this place. Didn't have a lot of time to visit the Royal tombs, but I saw the Church(free) and the panoramic view. The walk is uphill and you can go there in a tramway. The view is amazing.

Overwhelming exhibits; too much to take in in a single visit. Lots of walking & stair climbing between floors. I purchase ticket at the door after I arrived. €18. Online purchases include a guided tour, most are in Italian. Not needed. Cell phone can connect to their Audio tour. Don’t purchase through a booking service that will charge €50+. Plan to spend 3+ hrs for self guided tour of entire exhibit.

Great big museum in the heart of Torino... Very close to the Porta Nuova station.... Entrance for one person is 18 euro, but it's worth every peny... I travel a lot and see so many museums but this is one of the best... This place is one three flors and basement... You have elevators between every floor... So so many unique sculptures and things, mummies, from little to some very big... Everything have good explanation on Italian and English... In basement at the and of tour you can see all history of museum from start.... People who work there is so kind and helpful and talkative... They also have toilet on every floor and at exit you can buy some souvenirs... All recommendations for visit and enjoy if you are in Torino

Amazing museum with a great exhibition about Egypt with a plethora of items and mummies. Everything was greatly preserved and had an explanation of what you are seeing and it's history. It's a huge museum, we went without a guide and so we were kind of lost at times, not sure where to go to next. It's a little bit chaotic and can get real crowded real fast. I consider it a must visit. We also visited the ellesiya temple since it was free but I wouldn't say it was worth it because it was a tiny space with a lot of people and you couldn't walk around freely much.

I’m sure they’re trying hard to make this the standout Egyptian museum and have spent a lot of money on it. There are some fantastic things exhibited here but….its overcrowded and it’s strangely boring and repetitive. There are too many exhibits to take in. They should have cut back on the exhibits and instead told the history of Egypt far better. The museum is all over the place in terms of its narrative. It’s thematic but really needs to be chronological and help piece together what we’re viewing. It was a real shame because I just wanted to leave after half an hour of being bored and learning surprisingly little about an interesting subject.

Amazing museum, with a great collection of artifacts. Really well preserved and laid out, with an easy to follow route. Highly recommended for anyone who visits the city!

Very good attraction at the downtown of Turim, has an enormous collection of Egyptian artifacts, with a well organized collection. I consider the highlight the third flor, dedicated to the history of writting in the Egyptian society, I learned a lot. The museum commemorated the 200th aniversary in 2024, meaning It is now 201 years old, presenting a lot of evidence of being highly relevant for egyptology.

It is well worth the money. A beautiful collection of artifacts. Nice and detailed descriptions. The museum was huge. When we thought we were done... There was another 20 min of walking around to do

I love this market, Porta Palazzo is the heart of Turin the greater place ever the temple of food for Italians and foreigners. You can find anything in there is a marvelous place to enjoy your time in the city center and get the best most beautiful produce ever.

Fresh fruits and vegetable market, with multicultural sellers. Keep your belonging close to you.

Honestly too many people on a weekend so beware, really have to dig deep and stay for hours to find something good. Have to negotiate 99% of the time you are getting scammed on the first price, usually the bins with set prices are where they’re at, ok food, nice people very diverse so met a couple people and sellers that gave me discounts because We were from the same country. Keep your bag tightly around you and act like you don’t hear anyone that calls for you

It’s a nice bazar , I walk all around 😀

Europe’s biggest open-air market feels endless—seasonal produce, cheese counters, and a great fish hall. Prices are friendly; mornings are best.

The atmosphere is super friendly and a nice smell of vegetables and fruits is in the air. There is a guy who always sings there and doubles the friendliness. Everything is cheap, I got 7 kilos of vegetables and fruits for less than ten euros and the quality was perfect.

The main building in picture is really just a food/cafe/beer court with a few shops on second floor. There is a WW2 bunker on the ground floor in the middle of it! The older covered market and local farmers market houses the majority of the meat, veg and fruit etc. Outside there are plenty of other traders selling almost anything you could want! Across the tram tracks to the square hundreds of other fruit and veg traders! Prices seem to decrease the more yiu go to the back! You could easily spend a day here going around all the stands inside and out. Plenty if cafe/pastry/fast food stops. We spent a few hours there and only touched the surface! Well worth a look around. (May 2nd)

Its good place to visit during good weather.. just its always full of people.. a lot of cars up there. In my opinion they should not allow the cars until the last stop... (until its for disabled persons).. beautiful view of Turin. U can bring up snacks and enjoy there

Visiting this Church is your best intro with Turin. It's located just across the city center, on the other side of Po river. Chiesa Santa Maria del Monte dei Cappuccini is a Baroque Church dating back to 16c with more appealing interiors than exterior. However, the moment you reach the elevated terrace in front of the Church you're overwhelmed with absolute best views of entire Turin with the Alps in the background. Have in mind most reviews here are for the views, not the Church. The Church I'd rate 3 (average), but the views are outstanding.

This is a beautiful view point of the city with the mountains in the back. Of course sun set and sun down are always the best time. There is a cute little church as well to visit while there. Just pop in for a look inside it is very small. But you go there as it is the best view point of the whole Turin city. It was no crowded when we went. Handicapped people can drive all the way to the top and park in front of the church. ( there are about 5 places) Otherwise the main parking is a little lower and you have a 5 mins walk up but a very steep hill.

Nice place in the top of a hill. The route to chiesa is a up-hill trail, nice to walk in a forest. The chiesa is outstanding. The View to Torino from up hill is fabulos!

Fantastic... You have to take the walk up... Beautiful view of Torino...

Nice city views from there, but not so nice to climb the mountain :D

Nice church to visit and in the evening the view of Turin and mount blanc are really awesome. Whoever comes to Turin should include in his itinerary.

This palace is definitely worth a visit because it is a MARVEL! I'm surprised by the fact that it's not one of the city's best-known attractions and it doesn't cost much at all (€5 for adults and €2 for students). The visit must be done with a guide at a pre-established time (reservation is mandatory indeed); at the same time, I think it's a negative point of the museum: the guided tour (lasts 40 minutes just fyi) is quite boring and is only in Italian. For foreigners, or in any case for anyone, it would be much better if it were possible to visit it independently

There are 2 sides to this beautiful building, red stone on one side (up from museo egizio) and pale stone on the other side, you can walk through from one side to the other (there is a drinking water tap on the side with the pale stone facade) . It's free to enter the palazzo if you hold a royal pass or piedmont card, and if you live history it's a must. The history of Italy is told through photos, paintings documents and artifacts, all housed in this beautiful building. Well worth a visit.

Interesting guided visit in terms of architecture (compact palace design) and stories about the royal family members. I joined the Italian tour, but there should be an English tour, too.

Sucked! Unfriendly people. Only in Italian and no effort to engage — all the apartments were closed so very little to see. Don’t waste your time. Even the Italians on the tour were very disappointed. We speak a bit of Italian and the guide was not interested in sharing. Didn’t get his name but will share a photo. We raced from Palazzo Madama to get to our time slot. Should’ve stayed there—it’s an awesome place to see

The place is beautiful, but only about five rooms were open. I'm not sure if other rooms were closed or if that's all there is to visit.

Very lucky to have arrived at 10am for a guided tour (5euros for the entry) Home Castle of La Princesse de Lamballe Concave and convex staircase was astonishing!

Outstanding masterpiece of architecture by Guarino Guarini. A visit to the noble apartments is a must!

Quite large and extensive museum covering the history of the car. Spread over 3 stories and loads to see, we easily spent 3 hours looking through it. Tickets were €12 (reduced price).The brochure was unavailable but all signage and videos was in both Italian and English. We were meant to be given a card to complete some interactive portions but we did not receive one. However, the interactive portions were poorly AI-generated pictures and data-mining operations, so not much to be missed there. There were bathrooms throughout which was convenient. However the air conditioning was very poor (or non-existent) in many rooms and it got quite warm. There is also a very small gift shop with not much to offer, and a small cafeteria on site, plus some tables and chairs to relax in outside.

That was actually great. The cars are beautiful and the number of them is enormous. The timeline is very thinked and the descriptions are clear. The museum is huge so it will take you some time to watch everything. The prices are pretty low and the discounts are friendly. I reccomend it to everyone and not only the people who are passionate about cars.

The Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile in Turin is a must-visit destination for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This impressive museum showcases over 200 original vehicles from 80 different brands, illustrating the historical evolution of the invention that changed the world. Visitors can marvel at steam carriages from the late nineteenth century, design masterpieces from the 1950s, and iconic models such as the Fiat 500, the legendary Lancia Stratos, and the elegant Alfa Romeo 8C. The innovative exhibition layout immerses guests in the rich story of automobiles, highlighting cars that were central to epic races and memorable journeys, as well as prototypes that have shaped the future of automotive research. With engaging displays and informative panels, the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile offers an unforgettable experience that celebrates the passion and artistry behind the world of cars.

An outstanding car museum that offers something for all ages! The vehicle collection is in excellent condition, and the Ferrari section is absolutely breathtaking. Informative, bite-sized displays guide you through the fascinating journey of automotive history and even offer a glimpse into the future. A must-visit destination for any petrolhead or car enthusiast!

A stunning tribute to the art and evolution of the automobile. The Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile isn’t just a collection of cars - it’s a beautifully orchestrated journey through time, culture, and innovation. From the earliest engines to futuristic concepts, each exhibit tells a story with elegance and depth. The design is immersive without overwhelming, blending sound, light, and history into a harmonious whole. More than a museum, it feels like a temple to movement itself. A must-visit in Turin for anyone moved by beauty, speed, and human ingenuity.

We LOVED this museum. If you are a car enthusiast I totally recommend this museum you would learn how were your favorites cars conceived and take a look at the oldest models. From FIAT, FORD, CITROEN to FERRARI and LAMBORGHINI. We booked in advanced although there was no one at the time we arrived. Very educational experience and also entertaining!

The Turin Automobile Museum (Museo dell'Automobile di Torino, or MAUTO) is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Turin. Founded in 1932 as a retrospective of FIAT’s history, it officially re-opened in 1961 as the National Automobile Museum, showcasing the evolution of automotive technology across all continents. The museum houses over 200 vehicles and dozens of engines, offering a comprehensive journey through the development of car engineering — from chassis and engine innovations to design breakthroughs. For instance, you can trace how Michelin advanced tire manufacturing technologies over the decades. One of the highlights is the interactive exhibit featuring interviews with 14 legendary car designers and engineers. Their answers to 11 standard questions reveal deep insights into their philosophy, creativity, challenges, and triumphs in the world of automotive design. Highly recommended — this is not just a museum, but a deep dive into the rich history of scientific and technological progress in the automotive industry

A large, well-priced museum with many awesome pieces. However, if you are there for the Armory, know that you will have less than 10 minutes in the room. They do small guided tours and only allow 10 minutes per group. Unfortunately, for me, this is worth docking the star. I visited here SPECIFICALLY for the armory as I am a medieval collector. I don't mind that there is a small group guided tour, but it was so quick. My wife and I were taking pictures and only got about halfway through the room when the guide forced us out and they said we could not visit a second time :( The palace itself is truly spectacular and the art is vast and beautiful. Definitely one of the best museums minus the armory issue. CLOSED WEDNESDAY so plan accordingly.

Absolutely worth a visit for history and art lovers. Majestic, easy to access, and surprisingly quiet, it offers a rich cultural experience without the crowds of major tourist attractions. A hidden gem you can truly enjoy at your own pace. 🙏

Wonderful experience, wasn t able to finish the whole tour in one go. But we bought a one year pass that will allow us to revisit anytime(plus entrance to a lot of other museums) We were lucky to visit the Botticelli to Mucha temporary exhibition m 😍

A magnificent place full of history. I visited the Royal Palace of Turin on the first Sunday of the month, when entry was free, a great opportunity! The palace is impressive, with beautifully decorated rooms and plenty of art and history to explore. The royal armory and the chapel are especially worth seeing. Everything is well maintained and the visit was very enjoyable. Highly recommended if you’re in Turin!

An impressive structure even bigger than it looks from the outside. Filled with fascinating rooms and art, one could spend an entire day inside easily if you were to stop and appreciate absolutely every item and room in the building. The mix of more recent palatial rooms, older architecture in the rooms next to the cathedral, and the ancient artifacts in the underground area really make for a diverse experience. It's a broad swath of Torino history and more general Italian/regional history. Very much worth a visit, or maybe two if you really want to take in everything with fresh eyes.

The place is amazing specially if you're a budget traveler you can enjoy the beautiful museum and use the clean and comfortable toilets also the garden is pretty nice and peaceful for resting. The other good point about the place is that with 1euro coin you can use the lockers and store your bags and explore freely

Really beautiful palace. The detail is amazing. Just an fyi, we visited with a study abroad group and while there is an advertised discount for teachers and students it is only for Italian teachers. The palace was beautiful and felt like Versailles. The gardens were underwhelming and a bit shabby.

By far the best of the Savoy residences we visited today. Moncaleri was under construction, awkward (with the police presence everywhere), and split our group in two (with an hour difference between). The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, excellent stonework and a beautiful house. Staff were helpful and kind.

This is such a wonderful place! The gardens are peaceful and truly beautiful, but the best part has to be the incredible views of the city (assuming it’s a clear day without fog). I went during winter, but I can’t wait to come back in spring or summer. I just know it’ll be even better when everything’s in bloom!

It's worth visiting. Wonderful place and the history is very interesting. Great view of Turin up there. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place! The views of the city you get from there are spectacular! There was no waiting line. We paid 2 euros for reduced ticket and stayed there for a few hours enjoying the view of the city. Also, there was some event going on in the villa - you can see it in the video.

It was great to visit this building but it lacks renovation and explanations on its history

This is a great place to visit on a clear sunny day for great views across Turin to the Alps. The Hall painting is something to be seen to be believed...the window sides are real but the other two sides are all painted, including the doorways! You may not be able to see this from the pics...the green marble pillars are all painted also! Amazing!!! Check opening days as they were open only a few days a week, but it is off season:) We paid 7 Euros each. There are toilets and drink/snack machine inside. Well worth a visit just for the main Hall and views from around the raised gardens!

From the gardens of the villas, there is a fantastic view of the city. It's a peaceful location that's well worth a visit. In comparison to other places in Torino, the interiors of the villa are not particularly impressive; in some cases they appear to be in need of restoration. If the weather is lovely you should check the place for it's peaceful gardens.

The Italian Geography Congress (September 3–5) was hosted here at Castello del Valentino, and it was an outstanding academic experience. The venue offered a unique and inspiring environment, while the Politecnico di Torino provided excellent organization, facilities, and program management. A remarkable setting for scientific and cultural exchange.

Home of the Architecture faculty of the Politecnico di Torino, It is a world heritage site. It has a Very impressive sallon decorated with renaiscance paintings in the wall.

An amazing architectural masterpiece in the center of Turin. UNESCO heritage, it is now property of Polytechnic University of Turin - Department of Architecture and Design. It is possible to visit it only during the opening times to the public. You can check them on the official website (usually first, second and third Saturday of the month). Inside, you can find a small bar and a library.

Nice place to make good and long walk. U have spot to drink and eat… very nice view to the river

As you cannot enter the Castello itself, only worth the trip if you are in the area. Still beautiful but the gate is pretty far from the main facade. If you ask nicely , security may allow you in for a quick pict behind the gate.

An interesting historical building, now being used as Politecnico I really liked our passionate guide, she made the visit special

I'm student in this university. I love the atmosphere of this place. It is amazing and the architecture use absolutely amazing. You well amazed when you be there and see the structure with your eyes. 👌🏻🙏🏻

Caffè Al Bicerin is a charming slice of Turin’s rich coffee heritage. Their signature layered espresso and chocolate drink is delightful, the ambiance cozy and historic, and though it can get busy, the experience—and the taste—is absolutely worth the wait. A must-visit for any coffee lover exploring the city!

If you wana try the famous Bicerin Drink then you must come here. The cafe is very small and on busy days you might need to wait quite some time. Staffs are nice and professional too but sometimes are overwhelmed with customers and orders. We tried couple of their cakes cookies and pastries all were good and tasty but the best was their Bicerin drink croissant with hezelnut cream fillings. If you are in Turin definitely you should try at least the Bicerin!

We had to queue outside before entering, but this was only between 5-10minutes - you could sit inside or outside and we chose inside. Inside is small and cramped but cosy, it adds to be atmosphere and history of the café. We ordered just 1 traditional bicerin with the biscuits. The drink was delicious! Advised not to stir to fully enjoy each layer of coffee, chocolate and cream. The biscuits were also VERY tasty and highly recommend! It's well worth a visit if visiting Turin/Torino.

When I came to Turin, I knew I wanted to try a famous Bicerin, which is hot layered drink made of espresso, hot chocolate and cream. I found my way to Al Bicerin, a charming cafe serving up some warm, velvety Bicerin on this cool windy day in Turin. In America, everyone raves about Starbucks pumpkin spice coffee during the fall, but in my opinion it cannot compete with this layered drink to satisfy your coffee and chocolate craving. It definitely warmed me up on this cool breezy day in Turin. I also had a piece of their chocolate cake, which was a nice compliment to the drink and not too heavy.

I came here with a friend . We had been recommended as first time visitors to Torino. We queued for about 5 minutes for a table indoors on an overcast Sunday morning. The caffe inside is small and has a cosy feel with wood panelled walls, but the seating outside is also lovely (and more spacious!). Everyone in there seemed to have to hot chocolate topped with cream. We both opted for the un-topped version. It was both thick and dark and I had good expectations, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Not very “fondente”. It tasted like watered down dark chocolate and had that wobbly custard-type consistency that hints of a thickening agent being used. Neither of us finished ours. Having the reputation makes it pretty expensive too! It didn’t live up to the hype😔

Simply the best chocolate coffee based drink in the world, sipping on one while munching on biscuits with friends outside… that is life.

The service was really disappointing. For people coming here for the first time, the staff should be much warmer and more welcoming. This café has a long history and great value, and the staff should respect that by providing proper customer service. They need to understand how to treat guests with kindness and make them feel appreciated. A place with such tradition deserves better service and hospitality.

It is under renovation at this moment so we couldn’t really absorb the vibe ,However there were so many gift shops for tourists and the paintings on the walls were incredible

A lovely historical site in the middle of one of the most beautiful parks in Turin! My friend and I were amazed and pleasantly surprised at how majestic the attraction was… it’s worth exploring on a sunny day!

A park located near the Po River, in which a small village has been built that simulates the Middle Ages.

Even if it's small It's an amazing place. I've been there with my friends and we all enjoyed the place, the view and the vibe. From the moment I entered through the small gates, I felt I traveled to the past, to another place. It's actually really medieval. And the building, paintings and structure of the place is really accurate. There are also some shops with incredible articles and small prices all of them selling medieval stuff like swords, shields, bows, robes, etc... It's an amazing place to take your kids and show them how the castle and knights era would feel like.

Quaint location to visit. Pulls you right back to medieval times with its architecture. It is also very quiet and a good place to hide from the sun. The fortress is under renovation unfortunately. The entrance for the rest is free.

Beautiful place. My family was actually fooled thinking it was actually medieval, and not a product of a world exposition. If happen to be in Turin and have some spear time, give it a go, kids will like it

Got to see how the Medival period atmosphere looks like, great experience. Also it has some shops selling Harry Potter, Game of thrones stuff. Its small but can enjoy while exploring it. Happy that i visited.

The Cancellata di Palazzo Reale in Turin is a striking entrance gate that frames the Royal Palace, showcasing exquisite Baroque design and intricate ironwork. This impressive gate serves as a grand welcome to visitors exploring the palace’s rich history and opulent gardens. The craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect the splendor of the royal heritage, making it a beautiful photo opportunity and a key feature of the palace grounds. Overall, the Cancellata di Palazzo Reale embodies the elegance and architectural beauty that Turin is known for.

Although the Medusa is commonly considered a monster, her head is mythically framed as a protective amulet, capable of warding off evil and doing justice to the hero. You think what you want but in my opinion it represents beauty, art and philosophy.

Visiting the city of Turin. My hometown where I born and grew up since '67 until 2003

A good place to visit if you’re in turin

Great tourist spot

(Translated by Google) The gate of Piazzetta Reale in Turin, located between Piazza Castello and the Royal Palace, is a particularly significant work of nineteenth-century scenographic architecture. Before its construction, the space was delimited by a seventeenth-century wooden structure known as the "Pavilion" which served as a separation between the public square and the private area of ​​the royal court, used among other things for the display of the Shroud. However, on 7 July 1811 the Pavilion was destroyed by fire, leaving the Piazzetta Reale open and without boundaries and subsequently, during the Napoleonic French occupation (1801-1814), the part of the connecting sleeve between Palazzo Madama and the Piazzetta Reale was completely demolished, eliminating the high wall that divided the square itself. In 1834, King Carlo Alberto decided to restore the separation between public and private spaces and in 1835 Giovanni Colla and Chiaffredo Odetti received the commission and funding for the "formation and placement of a large gate in cast iron worked in front of the royal Palazzo Grande" and to "give both sides oil color with two hands" according to the project entrusted to Pelagio Palagi (1775-1860). Originally from Bologna and a multifaceted artist as a painter, sculptor and architect, Palagi worked in various Italian cities including Milan and Turin where he contributed to the interior decoration of the Royal Palace and designed furnishings and art objects for the Savoy court, fusing, with his eclectic style, classical elements with stylistic innovations. Originally, three openings were planned for the gate: the central one remained as such while the two in the middle of the lateral sections were closed with elements designed to be opened. The two equestrian statues of the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, added in 1848 and sculpted by Abbondio Sangiorgio, were cast in bronze in 1842 by Giovanni Battista Viscardi and Luigi Manfredini and placed on the sides of the main entrance while Palagi completed the decoration of the structure with eight molten iron candelabra powered by gas, a very innovative technology at the time. Among the symbols that distinguish the gate, the effigy of the Medusa certainly stands out, repeated at each section and symbol of inviolability and power and the writing FERT, an ancient Savoy motto subject to different interpretations, adopted by the Savoys on coats of arms and coins since the Middle Ages and also present in the Supreme Order of the Santissima Annunziata, the highest honor of the Kingdom of Sardinia and Italy. According to some, it could be the acronym of "Fortitudo Eius Rhodum Tenuit" (His strength held Rhodes) in reference to the participation of the Savoys in the Crusades and their support for the Knights of Rhodes (later the Knights of Malta) in the defense of the island against the Ottomans. Other possible interpretations are: "Foedere Et Religione Tenemur" (We are bound by Pact and Religion), "Fortitudo Eius Republicam Tenet" (His strength supports the State) or, more likely, FERT would indicate the Latin verbal phrase of the verb "to bear", "to endure" or "to sustain" to indicate the aspiration of the Savoy dynasty to resist adversity and to govern firmly. Restored in 1895 as the many parts of which it was made were damaged by water infiltration, the gate was completely replaced in 1932 by a new one in cast iron, cast by the Manfredi & Bongioanni company of Fossano. A recent restoration, completed in 2005 with private funding, aimed to restore the nineteenth-century appearance of the work with green bronze details and golden inserts and thus brought it back to its original scenographic role. (Original) La cancellata di Piazzetta Reale a Torino, situata tra Piazza Castello e il Palazzo Reale, è un'opera particolarmente significativa di architettura scenografica ottocentesca. Prima della sua costruzione, lo spazio era delimitato da una struttura seicentesca in legno nota come "Paviglione" che fungeva da separazione tra la piazza pubblica e l'area privata della corte reale, utilizzato tra l'altro per l'ostensione della Sindone. Tuttavia, il 7 luglio 1811 il Paviglione fu distrutto da un incendio, lasciando la Piazzetta Reale aperta e priva di delimitazioni e successivamente, durante l'occupazione francese napoleonica (1801-1814), fu completamente abbattuta la parte della manica di collegamento tra il Palazzo Madama e la Piazzetta Reale, eliminando l'alta muratura che divideva la piazzetta stessa. Nel 1834, il re Carlo Alberto decise di ripristinare la separazione fra lo spazio pubblico e quello privato e nel 1835 Giovanni Colla e Chiaffredo Odetti ricevettero l'incarico e il finanziamento per la “formazione e collocamento di una grande cancellata in ferro fuso lavorato avanti il reale Palazzo Grande” e per “dare colore ad olio a due mani ad ambe le parti” secondo il progetto affidato a Pelagio Palagi (1775-1860). Originario di Bologna e artista poliedrico in quanto pittore, scultore e architetto, Palagi lavorò in diverse città italiane tra cui Milano e Torino dove contribuì alla decorazione interna del Palazzo Reale e progettò arredi e oggetti d'arte per la corte sabauda fondendo, con il suo stile eclettico, elementi classici con innovazioni stilistiche. In origine, erano previste tre aperture della cancellata: quella centrale è rimasta tale mentre le due a metà dei tratti laterali sono state chiuse con degli elementi progettati per essere apribili. Le due statue equestri dei Dioscuri, Castore e Polluce, aggiunte nel 1848 e scolpite da Abbondio Sangiorgio, furono fuse in bronzo nel 1842 da Giovanni Battista Viscardi e Luigi Manfredini e poste ai lati dell'ingresso principale mentre Palagi completò la decorazione della struttura con otto candelabri in ferro fuso alimentati a gas, tecnologia allora molto innovativa. Fra i simboli che contraddistinguono la cancellata, spiccano sicuramente l'effige della Medusa, ripetuta ad ogni sezione e simbolo di inviolabilità e potenza e la scritta FERT, antico motto sabaudo oggetto di diverse interpretazioni, adottato dai Savoia su stemmi e monete fin dal Medioevo e presente anche nell’Ordine Supremo della Santissima Annunziata, la più alta onorificenza del Regno di Sardegna e d'Italia. Secondo alcuni, potrebbe essere l'acronimo di "Fortitudo Eius Rhodum Tenuit" (La sua forza mantenne Rodi) in riferimento alla partecipazione dei Savoia alle Crociate e al loro sostegno ai Cavalieri di Rodi (poi Cavalieri di Malta) nella difesa dell'isola contro gli Ottomani. Altre possibili interpretazioni sono: "Foedere Et Religione Tenemur" (Siamo vincolati da Patto e Religione), "Fortitudo Eius Republicam Tenet" (La sua forza sostiene lo Stato) oppure, più probabilmente, FERT indicherebbe la locuzione verbale latina del verbo "portare", "sopportare" o "sostenere" a indicare l'aspirazione della dinastia sabauda a resistere alle avversità e a governare con fermezza. Restaurata nel 1895 poichè le molte parti di cui era costituita erano danneggiate dalle infiltrazioni d'acqua, la cancellata fu integralmente sostituita nel 1932 da una nuova in ghisa, fusa dalla ditta Manfredi & Bongioanni di Fossano. Un recente restauro, terminato nel 2005 ad opera di finanziamenti privati, ha mirato a ripristinare l'aspetto ottocentesco dell'opera con dettagli in verde bronzo e inserti dorati e l'ha riportata così al suo ruolo scenografico originale.

(Translated by Google) This imposing gate of the Royal Palace dates back to 1840 and is located between Piazza Castello and Piazzetta Reale; the candelabra positioned on the top of the pillars and the numerous golden heads of the Medusa along the entire gate are ornamental and spectacular.

Beautiful Beautiful beautiful church and I love visiting cathedrals churches as I am pure catholic

From outside is very simple, but inside it is gorgeous and rich in polychrome marble decorations. The ceiling is breathtaking. Paintings are fabulous.

Extraordinarily beautiful architecture (the dome in particular) with some exquisite works of art on the altars inside this church.

We only found this hidden gem because our bike tour guide pointed out the small blue door in the corner of the square. Apparently the original entrance would have upstaged the palace so the Emperor stopped it from being built. Judging from the interior he was right! We visited several churches during our visit and this was the prettiest. Small in scale and with a stunning ceiling. Our guide said that once a year on the summer equinox light penetrates alcoves to reveal frescoes - you’d need to research this as I haven’t!

San Lorenzo church, I read in a lot of posts that rhis church is must to visit. I must say that it was beautiful and that's it. Nothing extraordinary, just beautiful church.

Very beautiful interior and a room with an exhibit about the shroud.

The Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is one of the most historic and beautiful churches in Turin, Italy. Located in the heart of the city's historic center, the church is an important landmark and a popular destination for visitors to the city. Built in the late 17th century, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is an excellent example of Baroque architecture. Its beautiful façade features intricate carvings and sculptures, while the interior of the church is adorned with stunning frescoes, ornate altars, and beautiful marble columns. One of the most striking features of the church is its impressive dome, which is over 60 meters high and is visible from all around the city. Visitors can climb up to the top of the dome to enjoy breathtaking views of Turin and the surrounding area. In addition to its beautiful architecture, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is also home to a number of important religious artifacts and relics. These include the Holy Shroud of Turin, which is believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Visitors to the church can also explore its many chapels and side altars, which are filled with stunning works of art and religious icons. The church is particularly famous for its Chapel of the Holy Shroud, which houses a replica of the Shroud and is considered one of the most important religious sites in Italy. The Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is also home to a number of important cultural events and concerts throughout the year. These range from classical music performances to art exhibits and film screenings, and offer a great opportunity to experience the rich cultural heritage of Turin. Overall, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Turin. Its stunning architecture, rich history, and important religious artifacts make it one of the most popular attractions in the city. Whether you're interested in art, history, or simply enjoying beautiful architecture, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is definitely worth a visit. However, it's worth noting that as a working church, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo can be quite busy and crowded during peak religious periods and on weekends. Visitors should be prepared to wait in line to see the Holy Shroud and other important artifacts, and should also be respectful of the church's religious significance. In addition, visitors should be aware that the climb to the top of the dome can be quite challenging, and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or other health concerns. However, for those who are able to make the climb, the views from the top are truly breathtaking and well worth the effort. Overall, the Real Chiesa di San Lorenzo is a true gem of Turin and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the city's rich cultural heritage. With its stunning architecture, important religious artifacts, and vibrant cultural events, it offers something for everyone and is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.

The museum itinerary includes the two original parliament houses: the Chamber of Deputies of the Subalpine Parliament - the only one in Europe, among those founded under the constitution of 1848, which has wholly survived and which was nominated National Monument in 1898 - and the majestic courtroom destined for the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Kingdom, with vaults painted by Francesco Gonin, built between 1864 and 1871.

Huge museum, incredibly interesting. Be ready to spend very many hours there if you like history. By the way, I don't recommend buying the audio guide, it's just not necessary. You get several videos along the way which you can watch while you get some rest.

I feel compelled to write this review as an English speaker with little Italian comprehension. Unlike the other reviews, I found the museum easy to follow and the material easy to understand. Each room has a double sided card (see attached images) highlighting in English what each section of the room will discuss. The translation isn't perfect, but it gives you the general idea. In addition, every couple rooms has a wonderful video explaining in detail some of the main themes (there are multiple segments to each video so stay after the credits to watch the next segment). The entire museum gives you not only the context of the Risorgimento but also what else is happening in Greater Europe in the 18th and 19th Centuries that helped underly the Risorgimento. There is a lot of information in each room that isn't translated but with Google Translate you could easily read whatever you would like to. If you have a general understanding of European history during this period, you'll have absolutely no problem getting the general gist. Would it help if more things were translated; of course. Would it help if you could read every language in the world, yes. But with today's technology, there are few barriers to understanding. Maybe watch a 10 minute video on YouTube giving an overview before coming to the museum if you really think you'll have a tough time. I highly recommend visiting for anyone interested in Italian history. Don't let the other lazier reviewers keep you away.

First of all the building itself is espectacular, the birth place of Victor Emanuel II, first king of united Italy. The palace is full antiquities and tells the story of the union of Italy through 30 dedicated spaces, from the house of Savoy- Sardinia, the Napoleonic invasion, the revolt of 1848, Mazzini and Garibaldi. It houses the well preserved sub alpine parliament and the first Italian parliament. Italian history at its best!

While the building is beautiful and historically significant, do take notice of the non-Italian reviews here before visiting! The english language cards which describe each room’s theme and artefacts are poor translations and assume you already have the benefit of an Italian education. They don’t provide much context and this left me trying to piece things together using Wikipedia to try and appreciate the exhibits. I entered without any knowledge of the Reunification and not much had changed by the time I left. Very disappointing given the historic significance of the building.

If you like history, this is a wonderful museum to explore. The videos were very informative. The store had a nice book collection, but only in Italian.

You have to be really passionate of the period of the Italian Risorgimento to enjoy this museum, otherwhise it is not really worth the visit. When I decided to visit it I expected the palace itself to be more beautiful than it actually is; in fact, the museum is housed in Palazzo Carignano (you can visit some very beautiful rooms of the palace separately and those are really worth the visit) but most of the rooms have been completely restored to make space for the museum unfortunately. I was especially truly disappointed about the Savoy Parliament, which you can see just through a glass. It takes 1h/1h30m to visit it and the price of the ticket is not expensive

Nice collection, wall labels were a bit messy both in placement and in the way of writing. They should separate English and Italian completely so is easier to read , now you have to search for the english words between Italian which is not engaging!

Well air conditioned, which makes it a good option for summer. Interesting permanent collection. There are plenty of lockers available, big and small to store luggages.

This museum is a great place to explore both modern and contemporary art – the mix of classic works and new installations makes every visit interesting. The space feels open and relaxed, and the exhibitions are always well put together.

A fantastic modern art museum (starting mid-1800s). I really appreciated their online cataloged which enabled me to tell which piece was by which artist. The have a mix of fabulous sculpture (old and new), and a lot of pieces that make you think. Really worth a visit. Free with your Torino + Piedmont card.

Nice collection of modern italian art, though the way it is organized is quite poor. Artworks are cramped one next to another in a confusing layout with very little text. The reason I rate it 4\5 and not less is the temporary exhibition during my visit (Notti) which was done beautifully, nice progression and beautiful pieces. I wiah they had more signs guiding to the entrance since circling the museum from outside was a bit annoying.

A great contemporary art museum with some interesting and varied exhibits. Worth a visit.

I loved the building, the overall use of space, the way the exhibition was organized, the art that was exhibited.

The Palatine Towers are an ancient Roman structure that served as one of the four Roman gates in the city from the Middle Ages. They were considered among the best-preserved gates in northern Italy.

Next to a park. Nice historic site and also a good place to relax at the park. Plenty of people walking their dogs too.

It’s beautiful and presents lots of stories. Unfortunately someone obviously took the beautiful monument as a toilet place. You can see toilet paper on the corner, and inside the little hole of the wall…… Also I can’t find explanation texts anywhere, just some board to remind you don’t climb on it.

Amazing historic place full of richness and culture. Here the Romans built the first roman village with 2 roman Statues one of the famous emperor Julius Gaius Caesar... Some fortification walls can also be seen in this garden next to the palace and the remainings of the Roman theatre.

The Palatine Gate, or Porta Palatina, is one of Turin's most prominent historical landmarks, offering a glimpse into the city's rich Roman heritage. Visiting this ancient site was a fascinating experience that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in history and architecture. The Palatine Gate is a remarkable relic from the Roman era, believed to date back to the 1st century AD. It stands as one of the best-preserved Roman gates in the world, providing a tangible connection to Turin's ancient past. The gate once served as a major entrance to the Roman city of Augusta Taurinorum, and its impressive twin towers and imposing structure are a testament to the architectural prowess of the Romans.

The mighty Empire of Europe! Buildings from the beginning of the first millennium or before still in place. Great.

Worth your time, if you love history.

I went to the Teatro Regio di Torino for a performance of Rigoletto, and it was a truly beautiful experience. The atmosphere of the theater was enchanting, and the performance itself was breathtaking. I had purchased my ticket in advance, and everything went smoothly upon arrival. My seat in the balcony offered a great view, though it was a bit snug—but that’s just a small detail in such a historic venue. During the intermission, I visited the bar, which had a fantastic selection of delicious food, making the break even more enjoyable. The staff were kind and professional, adding to the overall wonderful experience. I would definitely return for another opera!

Very spacious, good acoustics and reasonable prices at the Caffè inside! The lyrics appear on top of the stage so you can also follow together, really nice. Loved watching opera for the first time in life there ☺️ Buying tickets at the theater is a bit less expensive than online.

We saw a production of Rigoletto (03/2025) and very much enjoyed the show. Confortable seats, nice intermission service (be sure to get a ticket and pay for your drinks before you go to the bar 😉). We thought the building was a bit hidden and recessed for what it is. It merits a more impressive location and a facelift.

Wow, what a wonderful experience at the teatro for the Manon opera. Seating was perfect, would definitely recommend choosing the balcony/lodge area with an antichambre and flexible poltrona seating. Great view from high (although some views are partial as part of the stage cannot be seen). This is so far one of the most beautiful opera theatres, with bright red carpets, velvet, and all the elements that really make you feel like you're at the opera. This was a highlight of our trip.

Magnificent Opera House. Program and performances always excellent. The architecture of Carlo Mollino is just beautiful. The perfect setting for these great performances.

Very beautiful place. The Acoustics in the theater are probably my favorite thing. Watched AIDA opera there and it was spectacular. The only problem is, how could such a fancy place have so many little toilets during the break in between plays. During the break, the toilet for women was completely overcrowded, some women had to skip the 1st 5-10 min of the play after the break.

It was a wonderful experience! Theatre and performance are outstanding. We were lucky to get a ticket for The Barber of Seville. Wow! What a voices!!! Beautifully done!!! Brava!!! 👏 👏👏

Very small gallery good art but not worth the 7 euro admission. Also hard to get to.

One of important space to visit, if you would like to see the exhibition. They had restaurant, goes together with bar and cafe.

Place promises more than it can deliver. Mediocre derivative art. Place is hard to get to as well. No post cards.

Beautiful space, cafe/restaurant and exhibitions to visit.

Unmissable contemporary art exhibition venue in Turin. Among the best places for contemporary art in italy

World-class contemporary art centre. Very well run and curated.

A great experience in contemporary art. With an emphasis on video.

una nuova chiesa nel quartiere trasformato da industriale a residenziale proprio qui al posto di questa struttura religiosa , negli anni 60 c'era un fabbricato industriale di una fonderia , era un edificio alto in mattoni e con grandi vetrate... la struttura odierna ripercorre per certi tratti architettonici il ricordo dell'edificio pre esistente ... a new church in the neighborhood transformed from industrial to residential right here in place of this religious structure, in the 60's there was an industrial building of a foundry, it was a tall brick building with large windows ... today's structure retraces, in certain architectural details, the memory of the existing building ... o nouă biserică din cartier sa transformat din industrie în rezidențială chiar aici în locul acestei structuri religioase, în anii '60 a existat o clădire industrială de turnătorie, era o clădire din cărămidă înaltă, cu ferestre mari ...

Mario Botta! . Geometry. Form. Complexity. Minimalism. Impressive.

Very different architecture in compare to other churches. The outside seems strange to some, but I like it very much and inside is really cool too.

Splendid, majestuous. Divine geometry.

Prayerful and beautiful

Nice church for mass

Liked it.

The building was designed by Raimondo d'Aronco. You can also see many art nouveau buildings in this district. highly recommended to architects!

One of my favourite Liberty building in Torino, I'm always impressed by the beauty of its shapes

Every time i get out of principi d’acaja i get this feeling

(Translated by Google) Wonderful Art Nouveau building, an art nouveau masterpiece designed by Pietro Fenoglio, it is a true work of modern art. Located between Via Principi d'Acaja and Corso Francia, every time I pass through those parts I can't help but stop to admire it. (Original) Meraviglioso edificio in stile liberty, capolavoro dell'art nouveau su progetto di Pietro Fenoglio, è una vera opera d'arte moderna. Situato fra via Principi d'Acaja e corso Francia, ogni volta che passo da quelle parti non posso fare a meno di fermarmi ad ammirarlo.

(Translated by Google) Splendid twentieth-century villa in Art Nouveau style located in an important artery (Corso Francia) and of sublime beauty. (Original) Splendida villa novecentesca in stile liberty posizionato in una arteria importante (corso Francia) e di bellezza sublime.

(Translated by Google) Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur in Turin is one of the brightest gems of Liberty architecture in Italy, and a splendid example of the skill and creative vision of architect Pietro Fenoglio. Located in the Cit Turin district, this villa perfectly represents Turin's openness to the new European trends of the early twentieth century, favored by the cultural climate of the great international exhibitions. Compared to most Italian cities, Turin stands out for its welcoming and promotion of the artistic and architectural avant-garde, an approach that is clearly reflected in the Art Nouveau wonders scattered around the city. The guidelines of this movement were traced by the International Exhibition of Decorative Art of 1902, set up at Valentino in the pavilions designed by the Friulian architect Raimondo D'Aronco. This exhibition was fundamental in consolidating the Liberty style in Turin and in influencing local architects and artists. Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur, built in 1902 as Pietro Fenoglio's private residence, is one of the most beautiful creations of this new style. The building, with its richly decorated facade and meticulous details, is a true masterpiece of elegance and innovation. The sinuous shapes, the floral motifs, and the skilful use of wrought iron and colored glass create a visual harmony that enchants anyone who looks at it. Unfortunately, Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur is not open to the public for internal visits, but even just admiring it from the outside is a worthwhile experience. The main facade, with its ornate windows and decorated balconies, is a perfect example of how Liberty manages to blend aesthetics and functionality in a sublime way. The architectural details, such as the doors and wrought iron balustrades, are made with a mastery that leaves you speechless. Walking along via Principi d'Acaja, it is impossible not to be fascinated by this villa which stands out for its beauty and uniqueness. The location of the building, in a quiet but central residential neighborhood, allows you to fully enjoy its view, without the frenzy typical of the more touristy areas. In conclusion, Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur is an extraordinary testimony to the talent of Pietro Fenoglio and the cultural vitality of Turin at the beginning of the 20th century. Although it is not possible to visit it internally, observing its splendid Art Nouveau architecture from the outside is an experience that I highly recommend to anyone interested in art and architecture. Turin, with its openness to new European trends, offers here a sublime example of how tradition and innovation can coexist harmoniously. (Original) Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur a Torino è una delle gemme più luminose dell'architettura Liberty in Italia, e uno splendido esempio dell'abilità e della visione creativa dell'architetto Pietro Fenoglio. Situata nel quartiere Cit Turin, questa villa rappresenta perfettamente l'apertura di Torino alle nuove tendenze europee di primo Novecento, favorita dal clima culturale delle grandi esposizioni internazionali. Rispetto alla maggior parte delle città italiane, Torino si distingue per la sua accoglienza e promozione delle avanguardie artistiche e architettoniche, un approccio che si riflette chiaramente nelle meraviglie Liberty sparse per la città. Le linee guida di questo movimento furono tracciate dall'Esposizione Internazionale di Arte Decorativa del 1902, allestita al Valentino nei padiglioni progettati dall'architetto friulano Raimondo D'Aronco. Questa esposizione fu fondamentale nel consolidare lo stile Liberty a Torino e nell'influenzare architetti e artisti locali. Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur, edificata nel 1902 come residenza privata di Pietro Fenoglio, è una delle più belle realizzazioni di questo nuovo stile. L'edificio, con la sua facciata riccamente decorata e i dettagli curatissimi, è un vero capolavoro di eleganza e innovazione. Le forme sinuose, i motivi floreali, e l'uso sapiente del ferro battuto e del vetro colorato, creano un'armonia visiva che incanta chiunque vi posi lo sguardo. Purtroppo, Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur non è aperta al pubblico per visite interne, ma anche solo ammirarla dall'esterno è un'esperienza che vale la pena. La facciata principale, con le sue finestre ornate e i balconi decorati, è un perfetto esempio di come il Liberty riesca a fondere estetica e funzionalità in modo sublime. I dettagli architettonici, come i portoni e le balaustre in ferro battuto, sono realizzati con una maestria che lascia senza parole. Passeggiando per via Principi d'Acaja, è impossibile non restare affascinati da questa villa che spicca per la sua bellezza e unicità. La posizione dell'edificio, in un quartiere residenziale tranquillo ma centrale, permette di godere appieno della sua visione, senza la frenesia tipica delle zone più turistiche. In conclusione, Casa Fenoglio-Lafleur è una testimonianza straordinaria del talento di Pietro Fenoglio e della vitalità culturale di Torino all'inizio del XX secolo. Anche se non è possibile visitarla internamente, l'osservazione della sua splendida architettura Liberty dall'esterno è un'esperienza che consiglio vivamente a chiunque sia interessato all'arte e all'architettura. Torino, con la sua apertura alle nuove tendenze europee, offre qui un esempio sublime di come tradizione e innovazione possano coesistere armoniosamente.

(Translated by Google) As Rossana Bossaglia writes in "Il Liberty in Italia": "The Fenoglio-Lafleur house remains for us perhaps the finest example of Art Nouveau architecture in Italy, certainly the purest in the Art Nouveau sense." It is located in the San Donato neighborhood, which, along with the nearby Cit Turin, boasts numerous Art Nouveau and Neo-Gothic buildings that invite a pleasant stroll to discover them. It was designed in 1902 (and completed the following year) by engineer Pietro Fenoglio, arguably the most important architect of Piedmontese Art Nouveau, as his private residence. His initials can still be seen on the building's exterior walls. In reality, Fenoglio and his family did not live there long, and the house was sold to the French entrepreneur Lafleur. He lived there until his death, and his heirs donated the property to the well-known Turin-based philanthropic organization La Benefica, which hosted its "young derelicts" there for several years. Spared by the bombings of the Second World War, the entire structure underwent a period of decline, until it was divided up and sold again to private individuals, who undertook a careful conservative restoration in the 1990s. (Original) Come scrive Rossana Bossaglia ("Il Liberty in Italia"): "La casa Fenoglio-Lafleur resta per noi forse il più bell'esempio di architettura liberty in Italia, certo il più puro nel senso art nouveau". Si trova nel quartiere San Donato che, col vicino Cit Turin, presenta numerosi edifici liberty e neogotici che invitano ad una gradevole passeggiata alla loro scoperta. Venne progettata nel 1902 (e terminata l'anno seguente) dall'ingegner Pietro Fenoglio, probabilmente il più importante tra gli autori del liberty piemontese, come sua abitazione privata. Le sue iniziali si vedono ancora sulle pareti esterne dell'edificio. In realtà Fenoglio e la sua famiglia non vi abitarono a lungo e la casa venne venduta all'imprenditore francese Lafleur. Questi la abitò fino alla morte e i suoi eredi cedettero la proprietà alla nota organizzazione filantropica torinese La Benefica, che vi ospitò per alcuni anni i suoi "giovani derelitti". Risparmiata dai bombardamenti del secondo conflitto mondiale, l'intera struttura vide un periodo di decadenza, fino a quando fu oggetto di frazionamento per essere nuovamente venduta a privati, che si sono occupati. negli anni Novanta, di un attento restauro conservativo.

The cathedral is worth a visit , its architecture is understated, and the atmosphere is serene. But when it comes to the Shroud of Turin, it’s a complete farce. Prepare to be disappointed. You’re made to wait in silence, only to be led in front of a glass wall. And after all that, what do you get? Just a blown-up copy of a 127-year-old photo taken by Secondo Pia. The actual shroud is locked away in a vault, only accessible through the Royal Palace (with paid admission), and even then, you don’t get to see it. Waiting an hour for this feels harsh. The whole setup lacks transparency and honesty.

Despite being the cathedral, it is less opulent and ornate than other churches in the city. Paintings are fabulous. The ambience is not crowded.

The Cathedral is rich in history and architectural beauty and free to visit. I went there on Friday morning around 11.00am and there was no queue. Really enjoyed the educational video (subtitles available) about the Shroud of Turin.

Beautiful decorations with different types of marble. There is an exact reproduction of the Last Supper. You can also have a peek from the inside of the Palazzo Reale, which has a huge window looking onto the Cattedrale.

The Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista is breathtaking! Nestled in the heart of Turin, its elegant façade and soaring dome immediately catch your eye. Inside, the atmosphere feels sacred and peaceful, with intricate chapels and artwork everywhere. Of course, the highlight is the famous Shroud of Turin—absolutely unforgettable!

The Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista has a noticeable High-roof chapel and bell tower, placed close to the Royal Palace of Turin.

Place to be in the presence of the Shroud - quite a low key cathedral. The gift shop accepts cash only, no cards.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful on the outside, not so much on the inside. The view of Via Po from the top of the steps is spectacular. (Original) Bellissima esternamente nn un gran chè internamente. La vista su via Po dalla sommità delle scalinate è spettacolare

(Translated by Google) A rare example of neoclassical architecture inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, it was commissioned in 1814 and awarded, after a competition, to Ferdinando Bonsignore (Turin, 1760 - 1843), architect of the Savoy court, although it was only built between 1827 and 1831. The building, raised above the surrounding square by a high base, is accessible via a staircase from the top of which one can admire the splendid view of the road that, crossing the Vittorio Emanuele I bridge and continuing towards Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Via Po, Palazzo Madama, culminates with the Alpine arc. On the façade, a large pronaos with six columns with Corinthian capitals supports the tympanum containing the high relief of the Virgin and Child (attributed to Francesco Somaini di Maroggia (1795-1855)), which receives homage from the building's patrons, the city's decurions, who commissioned the church to celebrate the king's return after the retreat of Napoleon's army (the epigraph "ordo popvlvsqve tavrinvs ob adventvm regis"—the nobility and people of Turin for the king's arrival—is clearly visible on the architrave). Also outside, at the base of the steps, are the statues of Faith, on the right, and Religion, on the left, both works by Carlo Chelli (Carrara, 1807-1877). The monument to Victor Emmanuel I, in the center of the square, by Giuseppe Gaggini (Genoa, 1791-1867), created between 1849 and 1869, was only installed in 1885. Inside, the circular plan is dominated by the large dome with five tiers of octagonal coffers, of decreasing size, culminating in the oculus, which filters the zenithal light that, on June 24th, illuminates the statue of Turin's patron saint, St. John the Baptist. Worthy of mention, therefore, is the rich sculptural display: from the garland decoration at the base of the dome and the four bas-reliefs narrating episodes from the Life of the Virgin (Nativity, Presentation at the Temple, Marriage, Coronation) created from designs and models by Carlo Finelli (Carrara, 1782 - Rome, 1853) to the statue of the Great Mother of God with Child, surrounded by golden rays, located behind the high altar, the work of Andrea Galassi (Sassari, 1793 - Rome 1845); as well as Saint Maurice by Angelo Bruneri, Saint Charles Borromeo and Saint John the Baptist by Giuseppe Bogliani, Amadeus IX of Savoy by Carlo Caniggia, Saint Mark by Giuseppe Chialli, and Margaret of Savoy by Antonio Moccia. Finally, the unique bell tower with clock located in the building to the right of the church when looking at its façade, which houses the oratory, offices, and parish archives, is noteworthy. It's impossible not to conclude by recalling the belief that the church stands on the site of an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, also known as the Great Mother, the goddess of fertility and motherhood. Another theory suggests that the statue of Faith at the base of the steps—represented by a woman holding an open book in her right hand and a chalice in her left—is the figure of the Madonna herself holding the Holy Grail, indicating that the legendary relic is located in this very city. (Original) Raro esempio di architettura neoclassica ispirato al Pantheon di Roma, fu commissionata nel 1814 e affidata, dopo concorso, a Ferdinando Bonsignore (Torino, 1760 - 1843), architetto della corte sabauda, anche se poi costruita soltanto tra il 1827 e il 1831. L’edificio, rialzato rispetto alla piazza circostante per mezzo di un alto basamento, è accessibile grazie ad una scalinata dalla cui sommità si ammira la splendida vista della direttrice che, attraversando il ponte Vittorio Emanuele I e proseguendo verso piazza Vittorio Veneto, via Po, Palazzo Madama, culmina con l’arco alpino. In facciata, un grande pronao a sei colonne con capitelli corinzi sostiene il timpano al cui interno si trova l'altorilievo della Vergine con il Bambino (attribuito a Francesco Somaini di Maroggia (1795-1855)) che riceve l'omaggio dei committenti dell’edificio, ovvero i decurioni della città che vollero la chiesa per celebrare il ritorno del re dopo la ritirata dell'esercito napoleonico (ben visibile sull'architrave l'epigrafe "ordo popvlvsqve tavrinvs ob adventvm regis": la nobiltà e il popolo di Torino per l'arrivo del re). Sempre all'esterno, alla base della scalinata, la statua della Fede, a destra, e quella della Religione, a sinistra, entrambe opere di Carlo Chelli (Carrara, 1807 - 1877), mentre il monumento di Vittorio Emanuele I, al centro della piazza, opera di Giuseppe Gaggini (Genova, 1791 - 1867), realizzato tra 1849 e 1869, fu posizionato soltanto nel 1885. All'interno, la pianta circolare è dominata dalla grande cupola con cinque ordini di lacunari ottagonali, di misura decrescente, culminanti nell'oculo dal quale filtra la luce zenitale che, il 24 giugno, illumina la statua del Patrono di Torino San Giovanni Battista. Degno di menzione, quindi, il ricchissimo apparato scultoreo: dalla decorazione alla base della cupola con ghirlande e i quattro bassorilievi che narrano episodi della Vita della Vergine (Natività, Presentazione al Tempio, Sposalizio, Incoronazione) realizzati su disegni e modelli di Carlo Finelli (Carrara, 1782 - Roma,1853) alla statua della Gran Madre di Dio con il Bambino, avvolta da raggi dorati, situata dietro l'altare maggiore, opera di Andrea Galassi (Sassari, 1793 - Roma 1845); e ancora il San Maurizio di Angelo Bruneri, il San Carlo Borromeo e il San Giovanni Battista di Giuseppe Bogliani, l'Amedeo IX di Savoia di Carlo Caniggia, il San Marco di Giuseppe Chialli e la Margherita di Savoia di Antonio Moccia. Singolare, infine, la torre campanaria con orologio che si trova nell’edificio alla destra della chiesa guardandone la facciata, dove hanno sede l’oratorio, gli uffici e gli archivi parrocchiali. Impossibile non concludere ricordando la credenza che vede la chiesa sorgere sul sito di un antico tempio dedicato al culto della dea Iside, conosciuta anche come la Grande Madre, dea della fertilità e della maternità, mentre un'altra ipotizza nella statua della Fede alla base della scalinata, rappresentata da una donna che tiene nella mano destra un libro aperto e con la sinistra leva un calice, la figura della stessa Madonna con in mano il Santo Graal, a indicare come la leggendaria reliquia si troverebbe proprio in questa città.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, it reminded me of the Pantheon in Rome. (Original) Bellissima chiesa mi ricordava il pantheon di Roma.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful to visit, it overlooks Piazza Vittorio, the largest square in Turin, at the foot of the hill, highly recommended. (Original) Bellissima da visitare si affaccia su piazza Vittorio, la piazza più grande di Torino, ai piedi della collina, da consigliare.

(Translated by Google) The outside was covered in scaffolding, but that's necessary sometimes. The inside is very nice. Very clean and tidy. (Original) Stond van buiten in de steigers, maar dat moet af en toe. Van binnen heel fraai. Erg schoon en netjes.

(Translated by Google) The Church of the Gran Madre di Dio is located in the square of the same name on the right bank of the Po River, opposite Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the Vittorio Emanuele I Bridge. Designed by architect Ferdinando Bonsignore in neoclassical style, it is clearly inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, albeit on a smaller scale. Its construction, begun on July 23, 1818, with the laying of the cornerstone by Vittorio Emanuele I, was completed in 1831 during the reign of Carlo Felice, commissioned by the city government to celebrate the return of Vittorio Emanuele I after the fall of Napoleon. Indeed, on the tympanum of the pronaos is the epigraph: "Ordo populusque taurinus ob adventum regis," coined by Latinist Michele Provana del Sabbione, meaning "The nobility and people of Turin for the arrival (and, curiously, not "the return") of the king." After a decade-long interruption, construction resumed in 1827 under Charles Felix and was completed in 1831 under Charles Albert. The building sits on a high plinth, accessible via a dramatic staircase. The pronaos features six frontal and four lateral Corinthian columns, and the tympanum features a marble high relief from 1827, attributed to Francesco Somaini, depicting the Virgin and Child receiving homage from Turin's decurions. At the base of the staircase, on high plinths, two imposing allegorical figures, Faith and Religion, sculpted by Carlo Chelli, are often mistaken for Marian representations. At the foot of the staircase stands a colossal statue of Victor Emmanuel I, the work of Giuseppe Gaggini. Begun in 1849, it was completed in 1869 at the behest of Victor Emmanuel II and solemnly installed only in 1885. The church, which lacks a bell tower, has a freestanding bell tower built in 1830 near the oratory and parish offices. The interior, with a single nave and a circular plan, has an east-facing high altar, framed by red porphyry columns. Artist Andrea Galassi created the statue of the Great Mother of God with Child, surrounded by golden rays. The decoration at the base of the dome includes sculpted garlands and bas-reliefs depicting episodes from the life of the Virgin, based on models by Carlo Finelli. The most distinctive element is the dome itself, considered a masterpiece of Piedmontese neoclassicism. Characterized by five tiers of decreasing octagonal coffers, it is entirely made of concrete and culminates in an oculus over three meters in diameter, designed to illuminate the statue of St. John the Baptist, the city's patron saint, on June 24th. In the basement, a crypt designed by Giovanni Ricci houses the Shrine to the Fallen of the First World War, inaugurated in 1932 in the presence of Benito Mussolini. A curious fact: in the 19th century, the area in front of the churchyard was used to display the corpses of beggars and unknown persons awaiting identification. According to completely unfounded legends, the church was built on an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, and the statue of Faith, holding a book and a chalice, represents the Madonna gazing at the place where the Holy Grail is kept. Folklore aside, the Gran Madre church is a monument of unquestionable historical and artistic value, representing the city's greatest example of neoclassical style and one of the very symbols of Turin. (Original) La chiesa della Gran Madre di Dio è situata nell'omonima piazza sulla riva destra del Po, di fronte a piazza Vittorio Veneto e al ponte Vittorio Emanuele I. Progettata dall’architetto Ferdinando Bonsignore in stile neoclassico, è chiaramente ispirata al Pantheon di Roma, seppure in dimensioni ridotte. La sua costruzione, iniziata il 23 luglio 1818 con la posa della prima pietra da parte di Vittorio Emanuele I, fu completata nel 1831 durante il regno di Carlo Felice e voluta dal governo cittadino per celebrare il ritorno di Vittorio Emanuele I dopo la caduta di Napoleone. Infatti, sul timpano del pronao, campeggia l'epigrafe: "Ordo populusque taurinus ob adventum regis", coniata dal latinista Michele Provana del Sabbione che significa "La nobiltà e il popolo di Torino per l'arrivo (e, curiosamente, non "il ritorno") del re". Dopo un’interruzione decennale, i lavori ripresero nel 1827 sotto Carlo Felice e terminarono nel 1831 con Carlo Alberto. L’edificio è posto su un alto basamento, accessibile tramite una scenografica scalinata. Il pronao presenta sei colonne corinzie frontali e quattro laterali e sul timpano spicca un altorilievo marmoreo del 1827, attribuito a Francesco Somaini, raffigurante la Vergine con il Bambino che ricevono omaggio dai decurioni torinesi. Alla base della scalinata, su alti basamenti, due imponenti figure allegoriche, la Fede e la Religione, scolpite da Carlo Chelli, sono spesso erroneamente interpretate come raffigurazioni mariane. Ai piedi della scalinata, si erge una statua colossale di Vittorio Emanuele I, opera di Giuseppe Gaggini. Iniziata nel 1849, fu completata nel 1869 per volere di Vittorio Emanuele II e posizionata solennemente solo nel 1885. La chiesa, priva di campanile, ha una torre campanaria indipendente costruita nel 1830 vicino all’oratorio e agli uffici parrocchiali. L’interno, a navata unica e pianta circolare, ha l’altare maggiore orientato a est, incorniciato da colonne di porfido rosso. L'artista Andrea Galassi è autore della statua della Gran Madre di Dio con il Bambino, avvolta da raggi dorati. La decorazione alla base della cupola comprende ghirlande scolpite e bassorilievi raffiguranti episodi della vita della Vergine, realizzati su modelli di Carlo Finelli. L'elemento più caratteristico è proprio la cupola, considerata un capolavoro del neoclassico piemontese. Caratterizzata da cinque ordini di lacunari ottagonali decrescenti, è interamente in calcestruzzo e culmina con un oculo di oltre tre metri di diametro, progettato per illuminare il 24 giugno la statua di san Giovanni Battista, patrono della città. Nei sotterranei, una cripta disegnata da Giovanni Ricci ospita il Sacrario dei Caduti della Prima Guerra Mondiale, inaugurato nel 1932 alla presenza di Benito Mussolini. Una curiosità: nell’Ottocento, l’area antistante al sagrato era usata per esporre i cadaveri di mendicanti e sconosciuti in attesa di riconoscimento. Secondo leggende del tutto infondate, la chiesa sorgerebbe su un antico tempio egizio dedicato alla dea Iside e la statua della Fede, con un libro e un calice in mano, rappresenterebbe invece la Madonna con lo sguardo fisso sul luogo in cui è custodito il Santo Graal. Al di là del folklore, la chiesa della Gran Madre è un monumento dall'indiscutibile valore storico e artistico e rappresenta la maggiore testimonianza dello stile neoclassico cittadino e uno dei simboli stessi di Torino.

(Translated by Google) It is very special because the focus is on Mary with the Christ Child. The church places the woman at its center, and the architecture, modeled after the Pantheon, reflects this. (Original) Sehr besonders, weil im Mittelpunkt Maria mit Kind steht. Die Kirche stellt die Frau ins Zentrum und die dem Pantheon nach gebildete Architektur passen dazu.

Museum was good, the tour was dreadful value for money. €39 per adult for a 50 minute tour. Didn’t get to see the view from the top of the stadium, didn’t get to see the dugouts, the away team changing rooms, and the home team changing rooms had only half the shirts hanging up. We did the Liverpool tour a month ago, that was twice as long, you could spend as long as you wanted in every area, and was half the price. Overall, really disappointed.

Great, great experience. The stadium is incredible. Watching Juventus at its stadium was unforgettable experience If you are fan of the team you can take a ticket for a visiting it together with the museum and to see the conference room, locker room and everything that is connected with the team.

Nice stadium, it was truly a dream come true to visit as I am a supporter of this club. The atmosphere is incredible, the design is modern and impressive, and you can really feel the passion of football everywhere. The museum is also worth visiting, although it is somehow small and could definitely be bigger for a club as legendary as Juventus. Still, it’s an unforgettable experience for any fan.

My childhood dream came true!!! Watching my team live and defeating inter Milan was amazing!!!! Great view and great fans! Food and beverages are also fantastic! FINO ALLA FINE, FORZA JUVENTUS! 🖤🤍

Title: A Must-Visit for Any Football Fan – Especially Juventus Supporters Allianz Stadium is truly a world-class venue and an absolute must-see, especially if you’re a Juventus fan. The stadium is modern, well-designed, and offers a fantastic view of the pitch from every seat. Visiting the home of such a historic and iconic club is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere, the club museum, and the deep connection to the culture of the world game make it a top destination for football lovers. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Turin – whether you’re a lifelong supporter or just appreciate the beauty of the sport.

wonderful stadium, I expected more from the stadium tour — we only entered the press room and stuff and went for a walk inside the stadium nothing more — but that's not a problem when you visit a place very cleaned and organized. thus you can enter the museum

Our visit to Allianz Stadium was a true highlight of our trip to Turin! We were thrilled to watch a match between the Juventus main team and their Next Gen team, a tip we got from our hotel receptionist, Andrea. As my daughter is a huge Juventus fan, it was a dream come true for her. We were surprised to find that tickets were only 10 euros, a bargain compared to the 40-euro stadium tour tickets we were considering. For that price, we not only got to enter the stadium but also got to watch an exciting match. As someone who has been to many stadiums around the world, I must say this is one of the best. It's incredibly modern, clean, and well-organized. The seats are some of the most comfortable I've ever sat in—very smooth and comfy. We were lucky to have seats right above the VIP lounge, so we got to see all the players and even some celebrities like Chiellini and the Italian women's national team. The field was also in perfect condition, with freshly cut, beautiful grass. The atmosphere was amazing, filled with passionate fans and great energy. It was an unforgettable experience, and we hope to come back to watch another match someday.

It is definitely one of the most beautiful places of worship that you can find in Turin and it is completely free of charge. Unfortunately, there are always some strange people nearby and it is truly a pity for such a beautiful place

We come to this church everyday when we were in Turin. My husband and I attended the holy mass in this church. Even I was not able to speak fluent Italian, the kind priest allowed me to do a confession. We are also happy to wonder around to see the beautiful architecture and the history behind this church.

Probably the most impressing and most decorated church in Turin. The lay-out is extraordinary with many different chappels. Not very crowded so a nice peacefull atmossphere.

One of the best church in Turin !!! The sanctuary is known as "La Consolata" The shrine is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of Our Lady of Consolation. It has an eclectic collection of architecture, and includes portions of an ancient Roman wall, a Romanesque bell-tower, a baroque set of domes, almost Byzantine, sheltering a gothic icon, with two porticos, one of which has Neoclassic severity.

The outside doesn’t give any clues as to how ornately Beautiful the inside is. Wow the amount of detail in the Marble is incredible worth a visit when you’re in the neighborhood

I’ve rarely seen such an amount of art in the church. The interior is full of sculptures, ornaments, and frescos. Santuario della Consolata is a real work of art. Quite a valuable representative of Baroque!

Rococo decorations on the inside with colored marbles and solomonic columns. The church serves as a burial place for some local saints. The sanctuary is an outstanding collection of architecture and the highly decorated interior, leads to a magnetic experience. The most beautiful preying place I ever seen!

You need to prebook, we hadn’t and even though we are staying for five days there were no slots available. Worth noting as I’d researched in advance and didn’t find this out. The staff and tour guides were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing amazing museum. Brilliant tour guide who showed us in great depth the history of the siege. The museum has very interesting dioramas, actual weaponry, skulls, and a VAST sill open tunnel network left as it was during the siege. Our tour guides english was excellent. A must-go stop in turin.

A great museum of a very important part of Turin history. Our guide spoke English very well. He was both knowledgeable and very informative. Without his input I think our experience here would have been lackluster. The tunnels are well preserved and definitely worth a visit. Many models, drawings and artifacts.

We visited here on our final day in Turin and were so glad we did. There is a superb amount of information, excellently presented and all very accessible. The €5 entry includes an audio guide in a chosen language which walks you through all the exhibits. This got the top vote from all three members of our group which included a nine year old with very small attention span!

Great little museum with bonus of underground tunnels to see with guides

Very interesting small museum celebrating the defeat of the French & Spanish armies in 1706. Cool underground tunnels with accompanying tour guide. A little difficult if you don't speak Italian but the audio device was very helpful. Probably of most interest to history buffs.

This museum is totally underrated. With €3 entrance fee, we got to see the exhibition and the tunnels. Audio guide is provided. But the explanation is in Italian. They kinda forget to mention how important is it during the second world war.

A visit to Museo Casa Mollino is far more than a tour of an interior—it’s an immersion into the surreal and symbolic world of Carlo Mollino, masterfully narrated by Fulvio Ferrari. Set in a secret apartment Mollino designed in the 1960s, the space is rich with mystery and meaning. But it’s Fulvio’s storytelling that brings it fully to life. As both guardian and interpreter of Mollino’s legacy, he guides visitors with rare insight, weaving together biography, design, and philosophy with captivating clarity. Fulvio doesn’t just explain Mollino—he animates him. His narration reveals the deep contradictions and poetry of Mollino’s world: modernist and mystic, rational and dreamlike. Under his voice, every object speaks, every room becomes a stage. In an age of fast, forgettable museum experiences, Museo Casa Mollino stands out as something deeply personal, strange, and unforgettable—thanks to the voice that tells its story.

Casa Mollino (Museo Casa Mollino) is a very special place. We have to make an appointment through email before going. Napoleone gave us a great tour of the apartment, but first, he gave us the history of Carlo Mollino and really explained his works. I really enjoy Mollino’s designs and his attention to detail, and the research and documentation done by Fulvio and Napoleone is intense and immense. The apartment is very airy, so we took advantage of the great weather and really took our time touring the house and studying Mollino, in a way. I was taken aback by such a nice experience and it almost felt like I was intruding into Mollino’s intimate spaces, which was a very surreal moment for me. Without Napoleone’s research, views and explanation, this visit would’ve felt incomplete. The movie in the end was very very captivating and intense, which allowed me to delve further into Mollino’s life. I went to the Casa as a curious designer and came out inspired! A real piece of art!

I don't understand why it's shameful to take photos to record the beautiful things in life. Why would the tour guide be so disgusted and say such stupid things as "Don't be like the Chinese who only know how to take photos"? I suggest that he should travel back in time and kill the person who invented the camera.

What do you know of Mollino? Nothing, because it is all lies. So begins an epic narration of an eccentric Italian architect, stunt pilot, race car driver and photographer (nee' pornographer) and the secret flat he used to snap Polaroids of naked prostitutes and, presumably, to prepare a crypt for his final departure from this mortal plane. Sounds wierd? Well, it is. And I am not sure how much is true and how much is the work of the imagination of the home's curator and narrator, Mr. Ferarri. In any case, the Casa is a complex myth written in architectural space. Highly recommend. Just be aware of the psychadelic portal you have paid to enter!

A game changer experience in a lifetime !! It's been three years now since we visited Casa Mollino and not a week I don't think about an anecdote we've been told or about the man behind. Walking in it is like entering in a genius mind. Do not hesitate if you are heading to Tuscany, it's worth the detour a thousand times ! Mr Fulvio Ferrari would let you speechless...

The house is amazing and the story behind it is even more intriguing. You have to reserve online or by phone and it's not cheap (30 € per person) but it's definitely worth every penny as the old guy entertains you for a full 2 hours telling you everything about the crazy life of Carlo Mollino and his metaphisical world. Absolutely worth checking out if you're into Art, Architecture, Interior Design, Esotericism and Ancient Egypt!!

Came for the architecture, left impressed with questions and ideas about psychology, art, and Italy’s surreal mid-century culture. Sure, this is a great tour for those with an interest in design and architecture, but truly Casa Mollino is more a means to access the incredible, often controversial tales and minds of its owner, Carlo Mollino. Fulvio and Napoleone are wonderful storytellers with a clear passion for Mollino’s life, and sharing Italian culture and history with the rest of the world. Thank you, boys! My most treasured visit in North Italy!

Very interesting and intimidating building with a width of approximately 5 meters( from what I measured). Looks astonishing in live view, still interested to visit the inside till this day

This is a nice place to visit while walking around Torino. Mainly because it is very close to the Mole Antonelliana. It is a one of a kind building you can find in Torino and even in various cities around the world. So, definitely, it is worth it taking a look and making some photos. Specially if the very narrow side of the building.

I walked around this place many times and never noticed how thin it was! It is pretty cool!

Underrated secret spot! Amazing piece of architecture. Currently under reconstruction

Scaffolding at the entrance but the unique slim upper floor is visible as usual

Antonelli Super Star.

Amazing building. Unfortunately under preservation till end of December

When you look on the map that was posted nearby, you can see what massive scale the Citadel used to have. Covering a large part of what is now a suburban area

Well preserved ancient city of Torino. A silent witness of Napoleon's attemp to conquer the city.

Beautiful temporary art gallery inside the Mastio della Cottadella. Our guide was very knowledgeable and she was great in explaining the paintings. Highly recommended if you are in town and want to see great art

Great exhibit of Frida Kahlo when I went at the beginning of January 23, well set up in the ancient structures. The exhibit is a must, and the mastio may be worth a short visit.

Historical landmark, last remnants of the ancient city walls of the city of Torino, which Napoleon ordered to destroy once he managed to seize the city (not an easy task), back at the end of the eighteenth century. Also the site of the historical galleries of the city hero Pietro Micca.

We use the parking in front of this buidling to explore the old city center of Turin.

È circondato due grandi parchi, dove trascorrere un pomeriggio in serenità. Pochi posti auto all’ingresso, ma attraversata la strada lungo il parco ci sono innumerevoli posti.

(Translated by Google) It is a smaller-scale copy of the Pantheon in Rome, built as a family tomb by the children of Rosà Vercellana, nicknamed Bela Rosin in Piedmontese dialect. (Original) Si tratta di una copia , in scala ridotta, del Pantheon di Roma, fatto costruire come tomba di famiglia dai figli di Rosà Vercellana, soprannominata in dialetto piemontese la Bela Rosin.

(Translated by Google) The replica of the Pantheon in Rome, built for historical reasons, is truly unexpected in this area. It's a very faithful replica, and I've always wanted to see the inside. The history is very interesting, but it's currently used partly as a library and partly as an exhibition space. The latter, in particular, is the mausoleum building. It's a shame it was vandalized in the past, because it has so much potential, especially considering it's an unexpected piece of architecture in general and specifically in this location. The interior is very minimalist, but I was amazed by its grandeur. I'm hopeful for a more prosperous future. (Original) La copia del Pantheon di Roma, fatto per vicende storiche, è veramente inaspettato in questa zona. È una copia molto fedele e che ho sempre voluto vedere al suo interno. Molto interessante la storia appunto ma è un luogo attualmente dedicato, in parte, a biblioteca e in parte come zona espositiva. Quest'ultima in particolare sarebbe l'edificio del mausoleo. Peccato che nel passato sia stato vandalizzato perché ha moltissimo potenziale, soprattutto partendo dal presupposto che è un'architettura inaspettata in generale e nello specifico in questo luogo. Alla fine l'interno è molto minimalista ma mi ha stupito la sua grandezza. Sono fiducioso per un futuro più prospero

(Translated by Google) Large beautiful mausoleum dedicated to Bela Rosina, restored for several years and brought back to its original splendor. It is surrounded by a beautiful well-kept lawn where there are chairs and benches, ideal for sitting and reading a good book and breathing in a little peace. It's just a shame that it's not always open. (Original) Gran bel mausoleo dedicato alla Bela Rosina, da diversi anni restaurato e riportato al suo splendore originario. E' circondato da un bel prato curato dove vi sono sedie e panchine, l'ideale dove sedersi a leggere un bel libro e a respirare un po' di pace. Peccato solo che non sia sempre aperto.

(Translated by Google) Today I visited this place that evokes such a particular figure of our history. Very interesting the portrait of Bela Rosin made by the guide Nadia, who has well outlined the historical and human aspect. Very interesting the photographic exhibition inside: it's a pity that whoever curated the installation forgot to indicate the place represented in the photos. (Original) Oggi ho visitato questo luogo che evoca una figura così particolare della nostra storia. Molto interessante il ritratto della Bela Rosin fattoci dalla guida Nadia, che ne ha ben delineato l'aspetto storico e umano. Molto Interessante la mostra fotografica all'interno: peccato che chi ne ha curato l'allestimento abbia dimenticato di indicare il luogo rappresentato nelle foto.

(Translated by Google) A valid architectural recovery, the use as a literary park with a widespread library makes it a cultural hub. A spectacular sight reminiscent of the Pantheon. The story of the King of Italy with Bella Rosin enriches it in detail. (Original) Un recupero architettonico valido, l'utilizzo come parco letterario con biblioteca diffusa lo rende polo culturale. Colpo d'occhio scenografico a ricordare il Pantheon. La storia del Re d'Italia con la Bella Rosin lo arricchisce nei dettagli.

(Translated by Google) Amidst brambles and silence, the abandoned forest of Nichelino reveals, beyond the Sangone, the secret of the beautiful Rosina. (Original) Tra rovi e silenzio, il bosco abbandonato di Nichelino svela, oltre il Sangone, il segreto della bella Rosina.

We were at the Hotel Lingotto in 2023 with 20 people and were given entry tickets to get to the roof. When we wanted to redeem them, an unfriendly lady brashly brushed us off, saying it was closed and we were not allowed to go up (hotel told us yes) so 20 people were allowed to go...now today I wanted to redeem 2 tickets from back then and again an unfriendly lady at the reception said, expired, pay or pay with reservation hotel...2 times unfriendly staff at the entrance, just a pity that such work is done when the "roof" is a real highlight and history

A stunning testament to the fusion of industrial heritage and contemporary artistry. Nestled atop the iconic Lingotto building, this elevated track has transformed from a historic testing ground for FIAT vehicles into a vibrant tableau of creativity and culture. Visitors are greeted with a breathtaking panoramic experience, enriched by a flourishing hanging garden that serves as a serene backdrop to the artistic installations. The curated works by international artists, such as Thomas Bayrle’s whimsical "Flamingo", Valie Export’s thought-provoking "Die Doppelgängerin", and Superflex’s evocative "It Is Not The End Of The World", establish a dialogue with the architecture and historical significance of the site. As you stroll along the Pista, the transformation from a once-closed circuit to an open space feels palpable. The installations invite contemplation and engagement, seamlessly merging the past's industrial richness with the present's dynamic artistic visions. Marvel at the stunning views of the surrounding mountain ranges and the Arco Olimpico, making each step a journey through both the landscape and the mind. La Pista 500 is not just a walk; it’s a vibrant collective experience, breathing new life into the Lingotto and inviting everyone to partake in this evolving narrative. A must-visit for art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike!

This is one of the ultimate must seen things in lovely Torino! When you are connected with art or connected with cars, for both of your interests this is the place to be at the famous building of Lingotto! But choose a sunny day! For having a great view at the Alps!

You have to pay extra to get into other sections of the museum, which I didn't, but overall quite a cool experience. Views aren't amazing and you can't walk on the sloped parts of the track but you can walk most of the car ramp down. It's very hot so take a sun hat and unless you walk down the ramp, don't expect to be there long as there isn't a great deal to do or see.

Fantastic place!! I've always owned Fiat/Abarth cars so was keen to see the old test track. There's a small fee (2 Euro when I visited) it's well worth it. The views across the city to the countryside beyond are well worth the admission fee alone. The garden gives some lovely respite from the city below. The cafe is worth a visit too, good value coffee alongside the wooden 500 model.

Superb historical icon of the automotive industry. The roof-top track of the Lingotto building is one of the seven wonders of the world for classic car lovers. The Lingotto building itself is simply a stunning architectural work of art, but the track on the roof is iconic. Accessing the track is easy - book a time-slot online and turn up at the Pinacoteca/Pista 500 entrance in the Lingotto building which is well-signposted. A lift takes you to the roof where you can walk the full length of the track. You can't go on the banking, which is a shame, but you still get a beautiful 360-degree view of Turin (and the Alps in the distance) while basking in all that motoring history. There are apparently art-works spread around the roof, which I think I missed; but the cafe on the roof is lovely as is the small museum.

Problem getting here as we took the lift as directed but unable to access the 5th floor. Had to come back down and use another set of lifts. Very poorly signposted. However once there we enjoyed the art collection as well as the testjng track and cafe

Nice building with dragons

A nice building. I just saw it from outside

Amazing

Peculiar place to visit

(Translated by Google) The Palazzo della Vittoria is one of the most characteristic residential buildings in Turin and is located along Corso Francia, in the Cit Turin district. Designed in 1918 by the architect Gottardo Gussoni, author of several Art Nouveau buildings in Piedmont and Liguria and collaborator of the Fenoglio studio, it was inaugurated in 1920 although the works only ended in 1922. The building offered modern comforts such as an electrical system, gas, lift , radiator heating and hot water toilets and was built to symbolize the recovery of the building sector after the First World War. The style adopted is eclectic, with French neo-Gothic, neo-Renaissance and Liberty elements and is one of the last built in this way, now considered out of fashion but above all too elaborate and expensive in the midst of the post-war crisis. The building is spread over five floors and is characterized by a crenelated corner tower of clear medieval inspiration. Structurally, it presents a hybrid system, with load-bearing brick walls and reinforced concrete floors. The decorative elements, centered on the dragon theme, were made with lithocement molds, a material that simulates stone but is cheaper and more versatile. At the base of the tower, there is a niche, originally conceived to house a statuary group which, however, was never built. The facades are adorned with bow windows and balconies with massive balustrades. The entrance portal is particularly spectacular, decorated with Art Nouveau windows, columns and heraldic coats of arms and flanked by two dragons with spread wings. The neo-Gothic atrium, visible from the windows, presents great attention to detail, with zoomorphic and allegorical decorations that also continue in the stairs and interiors. On the facade, a plaque documents the naming of the building: "In the darkest moments of the post-war period, the knight of labor Giovambattista Carrera of Magnano Biella built this monumental palace in memory of the great Italian victory MCMXX". Having survived the bombings of the Second World War and well maintained with continuous restorations, the Palazzo della Vittoria is as bizarre as a Gothic fantasy from times gone by and still attracts the eye today, arousing a mixture of surprise and admiration. (Original) Il Palazzo della Vittoria è uno degli edifici di edilizia residenziale più caratteristici di Torino e si trova lungo corso Francia, nel quartiere Cit Turin. Progettato nel 1918 dall'architetto Gottardo Gussoni, autore di diversi edifici Liberty in Piemonte e Liguria e collaboratore dello studio Fenoglio, fu inaugurato nel 1920 anche se i lavori terminarono solo nel 1922. L'edificio offriva comfort moderni come impianto elettrico, gas, ascensore, riscaldamento a radiatori e servizi igienici con acqua calda e fu costruito per simboleggiare la ripresa del settore edilizio dopo la prima guerra mondiale. Lo stile adottato è eclettico, con elementi neogotici francesi, neorinascimentali e Liberty ed è uno degli ultimi costruiti in questo modo, ormai considerato fuori moda ma soprattutto troppo elaborato e costoso in piena crisi del primo dopoguerra. L’edificio si sviluppa su cinque piani ed è caratterizzato da una torre angolare merlata di chiara ispirazione medievale. Strutturalmente, presenta un sistema ibrido, con murature portanti in laterizio e solai in cemento armato. Gli elementi decorativi, incentrati sul tema del drago, furono realizzati con stampi in litocemento, un materiale che simula la pietra ma più economico e versatile. Alla base della torre, è presente una nicchia, concepita in origine per ospitare un gruppo statuario che però non fu mai realizzato. Le facciate sono ornate da bow-window e balconi con balaustre massicce. Particolarmente scenografico è il portale d’ingresso, decorato con vetrate Liberty, colonne e stemmi araldici e affiancato da due draghi con ali spiegate. L’atrio neogotico, visibile dalle vetrate, presenta una grande attenzione ai dettagli, con decorazioni zoomorfe e allegoriche che continuano anche nelle scale e negli interni. Sulla facciata, una lapide documenta l'intitolazione dello stabile: "Nei momenti più torbidi del dopo guerra il cavaliere del lavoro Giovambattista Carrera di Magnano Biella costruiva questo monumentale palazzo a ricordo della grande vittoria italiana MCMXX". Sopravvissuto ai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale e ben tenuto con continui restauri, il palazzo della Vittoria è bizzarro come una fantasia gotica d'altri tempi e attira ancor oggi lo sguardo suscitando un misto di sorpresa e ammirazione.

It is located in the Turin city district in Corso Francia.

(Translated by Google) Historic building at 23 Corso Francia (then Corso D'Annunzio), built in 1920 by Cavalier Carrera in homage to the Italian victory in the Great War. The people of Turin usually call it the "Palace of Dragons" because of the two dragons that stand on either side of the entrance door, which appears in the opening scenes of the 1974 film "Scent of a Woman," directed by Dino Risi and starring the magnificent Vittorio Gassman. Even today, it is a destination for tourists and curious onlookers who stop in front of the famous door. The building cannot be visited, but it is worth a visit. (Original) Palazzo storico al 23 di Corso Francia (allora Corso D'Annunzio) edificato nel 1920 dal Cav. Carrera in omaggio alla Vittoria italiana della Grande Guerra. I Torinesi solitamente lo chiamano "Palazzo dei Draghi" per via dei due draghi che campeggiano ai lati del portone d'ingresso che compare nelle scene iniziali del film "Profumo di donna" del 1974 regia di Dino Risi con l'immenso Vittorio Gassman. Ancora oggi meta di turisti e curiosi fermi davanti il famoso portone.Il palazzo non è visitabile ma merita una capatina.

Nice place and amazing food

Location Top!!

Bella location

(Translated by Google) I attended a wedding in December at this beautiful location. Even though the day was cold, the Castle was still warm and welcoming. I noticed great attention to detail in both the setup and the food. Food that I must say I found really good and impeccable. The strongest point of the location however is the position. We often travel hours from Turin for weddings. This castle, however, is practically on Corso Regina. Very comfortable and highly recommended. 😊 (Original) Ho partecipato ad un matrimonio in dicembre presso questa bellissima location. Nonostante la giornata fosse fredda il Castello risultava comunque caldo ed accogliente. Ho notato una grandissima cura per i particolari sia per gli allestimento che per il cibo. Cibo che devo dire di aver trovato veramente buono ed impeccabile. Il punto più forte della location comunque è la posizione. Spesso per i matrimoni ci si sposta anche di ore da Torino. Questo castello invece è praticamente su Corso Regina. Comodissimo e consigliatissimo. 😊

(Translated by Google) Castle with park located in Turin, easily reachable even from outside the city. I was there for a winter wedding. The rooms are beautiful, wonderfully adorned, with candles, objects and a splendid Christmas tree so much so that floral decorations are superfluous. The catering is excellent on both a visual and gustatory level, starting with the aperitifs and concluding with the after dinner tasting of rum and delicious chocolate. I would also like to compliment the lady who manages everything, capable, competent and attentive, on site to make sure that everything goes smoothly. (Original) Castello con parco ubicato a Torino, facilmente raggiungibile anche da fuori città. Ci sono stata in occasione di un matrimonio invernale. Belle le sale, adornate meravigliosamente, con candele, oggettistica e uno splendido albero di Natale tanto da essere superflui gli addobbi floreali. Ottimo il catering a livello sia visivo che gustativo iniziando dagli aperitivi per concludere con il dopo cena al gusto di rum e cioccolato prelibato. Mi sento di fare i complimenti anche alla signora che gestisce il tutto, capace, competente e attenta, sul posto ad assicurarsi che tutto proceda per il meglio.

(Translated by Google) On the occasion of spring days, visit Palazzo Carpano, a seventeenth-century palace built at the end of the 1600s by Guglielmo Balbiano, the duke's first butler. The building has been remodeled over time, however it still retains its structure and valuable original frescoes. We continue with Palazzo Carpano formerly Asinari di San Marzano. Giovanna Battista of Nemours (mother of Carlo Emanuele II) donated the land to the Marquis Ottavio Asinari of San Marzano so that he could build his residence there. The result was the stupendous seventeenth-century palace that we admire today. Beautiful atrium with twisted columns and a ribbed vault, a beautiful staircase leading to the main floor which underwent many changes in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, but still retains original decorations and frescoes. Today home to the insurance offices (Original) In occasione delle giornate primavera fai visita al palazzo carpano,palazzo seicentesco fatto edificare a fine '600 da Guglielmo Balbiano, primo maggiordomo del duca.

Giovanna Battista di Nemours (madre di Carlo Emanuele II) donò il terreno al marchese Ottavio Asinari di San Marzano affinché vi costruisse la sua residenza. Il risultato fu lo stupendo palazzo seicentesco che ammiriamo oggi.

(Translated by Google) The Palace is private property and cannot be visited. Unfortunately! I remember it more than 50 years ago during a school trip when it was known as Palazzo Carpano as it was home to the Vermouth of the same name! From abroad it appears like a normal building in the center of Turin but inside it turns out to be a true masterpiece of Piedmontese Baroque! (Original) Il Palazzo è proprietà privata e non è visitabile. Purtroppo! Io lo ricordo più di 50 anni fa.durante una.gita.scolastica quando era noto come Palazzo Carpano in quanto sede dell'omonimo Vermouth!

One wonders what the offers are asking for if in 30 years they have not managed to install a heating system worthy of the name!
