The 39 best castles in and around 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.

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!

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. 👌🏻🙏🏻

Stupinigi Castle is absolutely breathtaking, both from the outside and the inside. The architecture and decorative details are stunning, and every room tells a story. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. It’s a must-see if you’re in the area—an elegant blend of history, art, and beauty.

The inside of the palace was great, the same woman who was a tour guide at Moncaleri was a tour guide here and was a life saver helping is get tickets printed since we just had a receipt. The palace was great, but the grounds were totally under construction and inaccessible... there should be a fee reduction in that case or at least some notice before you pay.

Juvarra designed palace, thought out as a “hunting residence”, with Rococo’ interiors embellished like there’s no tomorrow. a must visit if you’re travelling near Turin area.

Very nice place. If you visit Torino, then this is a must. Close to the city and full of story. You can only visit the house not the garden but still worth-it. If you don’t purchase the tickets online, you can buy there at the house.

I went for the Vivaldi 4 seasons performance. My husband and I both enjoyed the performance,it was a fantastic and magical night. The venue in the castle is well chosen and lovely.

I wanted to write a review to say that I thought the visit was worth the 12 Euro entry fee. There were many small rooms with furniture and very nice painted ceilings. I watched a video showing just how much time, money and work goes into restoring a huge place like this. The video also showed many movies and shows that have been filmed here. The grand ballroom was very impressive. I even found the elevator that installed in 1905 to be an interesting piece of history. Thanks.

Nice visit, highly recommended especially if you want to observe how the “royals” were living and spending their time during the past centuries. The place was the hunting ground for the Savoia Family. I would like to see more areas open to the public, to fully enjoy the visit.

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)

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 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. (Original) Questa imponente cancellata di Palazzo Reale risale al 1840 ed è situata tra piazza Castello e piazzetta Reale; ornamentali e scenografici i candelabri posizionati sulla cima dei pilastri e le numerose teste dorate della Medusa lungo tutta la cancellata.

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.

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.

It was the best sandwich I ve ever eat in all Italia, with well treatment

Bad food, bad service. I will not recomend it.

Really bad service!!!

(Translated by Google) The only time in my life I managed to feel sick while eating. Significant stomach ache and it happens to me every time I eat there... Already happened 2 times to avoid Besides ruining the view of Piazza Vittorio and the Gran Madre, I don't understand why they allow us to stay there (Original) L'unica volta in vita mia che sono riuscita a stare male mentre mangiavo.

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

Awesome old area of Torino

A very nice street to walk

Beautiful place in Turin

Via Po offers one of Turin's memorable and seemingly never-ending perspectives. The perfectly aligned buildings on either side of the street direct your eyes to focus as far away as you can see, which happens to be on the other side of the Po river at the Chiesa Parrocchiale della Gran Madre di Dio.

Lovely place to have a walk around and have some relaxation with river sound

One of the many magnificent avenues Turin has to offer. This particular one ends at the Po River with a impressive arched, architecturally planned and symmetrical piazza (Piazza Vittorio Veneto) full of outdoor cafes and with a great view of the Gran Madre church on the opposite side of the river. One if not my most favorite spot in Turin.

Beautiful

Nice Train station in Turin. Plenty of shops and restaurants inside the train station. The real beauty of this station comes alive at night. The front is beautiful with the glass lit up. The buses and tram lines are located in front of the station. The Tourist Information Center is located right across the street before you enter the park. It is a very easy walk into the center of Turin and all the main sites. We enjoyed our visit of this station and all that Turin had to offer. Beautiful city.

Inside there is a place to buy Under 26 GTT card. If you enter through the gate on Via Nizza and walk straight ahead, you’ll see the place where you need to go to get your GTT card. You can either go early in the morning to wait in line, or purchase it online and pick up your ready card there. You don’t need to bring a passport photo – they can take your photo on site.

Architectural beauty this train station. Low point toilets otherwise full of shops, clean when I was there, interesting history and architectural elements. In front of it is the famous Hotel Roma where many celebrities stayed like the writer Cesare Pavese in his last days.

Clean, stylish and feels just like the main station in Rome! I imagine they are designed by the same person. This station has many facilities, restaurants and good waiting areas, there are many transport links right outside, too. As far as big central stations go this one didn’t feel very unsafe, but there were a few sketchy characters around but it was fine otherwise.

The central train station of Turin, with food court on the 2nd floor. In front of the station, there are bus stations (with a fast bus to the airport).

Not a huge train station and with few shops for a big city like Turin. But it's easy to find your way around. There is a place to drink coffee, buy bus tickets, etc. A simple but beautiful station. Not big but meets the needs of those passing through its gates. (Bathrooms cost money!! I don't understand this thing. Why do they want people to relieve themselves outside the station?).

A somewhat old station. Furthermore, the toilets are very clean. The station is quite centrally located in Turin. You can easily walk to the shopping center. Additionally, there are good bus connections to the outskirts of Turin. Many trains also travel to other cities within Italy, and it's all easy to find.

Loved the palace. Unfortunately cannot be visited without tour and tours only in Italian. Still enjoyed it

The Palazzo Falletti di Barolo is a beautiful historical mansion of old aristocratic families in Torino (and notably of the famous Giulia di Barolo, née Juliette Colbert di Maulévrier, a French philanthropist and marquise, naturalized as an Italian by marriage), which nowadays has been refurbished at a museum. The location is quite convenient, right in the most ancient part of the city. However, parking can be somewhat cumbersome in the area, so it would be recommended to park a bit farther and to set for a nice walking throughout the city center. One can go for a visit either of the ancient mansionhouse itself, or to temporary exhibitions, which are often organized in a part of the building that was dedicated to this function.

Top experience in Turin - like stepping into another world! A 2 hour guided tour around an incredible building for just 5 Euros. The tour guide was really lovely. We were the only English speakers in the group, so he offered to say everything twice: in Italian, then in English. We insisted Italian was fine (we're trying to learn), so he took the time to speak really slowly to help us, and clarify in English when he saw we didn't quite understand, without making us feel awkward at all. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and really brought the beautiful building to life, and I particularly enjoyed his personal tale of the ghost! The palazzo was just magical: sumptuous room after room, with amazing paintings, decor and history. Absolutely exquisite experience!

Well worth a visit by the amazingly knowledgeable volunteer guides for a slice of Turin history in a recently restored nobility palace with heaps of history

A Nobile house is well represented here, the entrance is astonishing and some of the room too.

Another hidden gem of Turin which is not properly promoted to tourists.

Good music good performer The facility (palazzo Barolo) Is an excellent residence

Compared to the royal palace the service in the royal cafe is disappointing. The waitress is emotionless, especially after she heard me speaking in English. She passed by the table a couple of times when I tried to call her and she ignored me. As for the 6 eur bicerin - I don't even know if it's good because it's my first in Turin so I can't compare, but I didn't like it because it's only a half of a glass of chocolate with coffee that wasn't even noticeable so I ordered an extra coffee. After the palace the cafe, although beautiful, turned out to be a bit of disappointment at the end of the palace tour.

The interior of this café is quite beautiful. The staff - especially the friendly, helpful and entertaining gentleman in charge - were all charming. The food and drink, featuring specialities from Piemonte, were delicious - and good value. All in all, this far exceeded my expectations.

Small museums cafe in gorgeous place, in italian palace. Good place to rest after visiting museum, inside terrific design with vitrines, outside nice places with view on yard. Nice variety of food and drinks, good staff but little bit slow and super tasty desserts

Very hard to give this any stars, as no one actually served us! We arrived at the front and asked whether the cafe was open. A friendly waiter (I guess he deserves the star!) assured us they were open, but we should sit at the back. He ushered us through the restaurant, into the courtyard. As we entered the courtyard, a different waiter said we should sit inside. We said that we had just been told to go outside, he shrugged, waved us towards a table, hurried away. No tables were in the shade, so we nudged one away from the sun. We then saw a table in a better position, so moved places. A waiter came — ignored us — replaced the table back in the sun. Maybe he wasn’t a waiter, maybe he was the ‘table positioning’ employee. In fact, maybe none of the staff were waiters, they certainly didn’t seem to understand the definition of the title as no one ever came to take our order. After a while, we decided they were too busy, so we left in search of food and drinks. Turin is a big city, there are places to go where you will actually be served. I suggest you find one.

Beautiful historical place next to the Royal Palace Court. Very cosy atmosphere especially during weekdays. Staff is friendly and helpful. Price are higher than average due to the beautiful location.

Had a light lunch. Great food and very well recommended red and white wine. Had bunet and cube dessert - marvellous! Great service, Price is reasonable given the location.

Such a gem in the touristy area, especially after a long walk. The Iranian waiter was very kind and helpful, appreciate his work.

(Translated by Google) Seventeenth-century noble residence commissioned by the Marquis Giorgio Turinetti di Priero, banker of the Duchy of Savoy, it was seriously damaged by the bombings of the Second World War. In 1949 it was purchased by the San Paolo Banking Institute of Turin, now Intesa Sanpaolo. A first competition of ideas for the reconstruction was won by Carlo Mollino with a project that remained on paper. Subsequently, the Institute entrusted the work to the engineer and architect Arturo Midana, an attentive scholar of interior decoration between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, who was replaced in 1961 by his student and collaborator Mario Dezzutti. The various rooms were restored to their former splendor also thanks to the important consultancy of the Turin antiquarian Pietro Accorsi. During the tour of the main floor you can admire the various rooms, including the large Turinetti Room, whose windows overlook the elegant Piazza San Carlo. (Original) Dimora nobiliare seicentesca commissionata dal Marchese Giorgio Turinetti di Priero, banchiere del Ducato dei Savoia, venne gravemente danneggiata dai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale. Nel 1949 fu acquistata dall'Istituto Bancario San Paolo di Torino, oggi Intesa Sanpaolo. Un primo concorso di idee per la ricostruzione fu vinto da Carlo Mollino con un progetto rimasto sulla carta. Successivamente l'Istituto affidò i lavori all'ingegnere e architetto Arturo Midana, attento studioso della decorazione d'interni fra Sei e Settecento, a cui subentrerà nel 1961 l'allievo e collaboratore Mario Dezzutti. Le varie stanze furono riportate all'antico splendore anche grazie all'importante consulenza dell'antiquario torinese Pietro Accorsi. Durante il percorso di visita del piano nobile si possono ammirare i vari ambienti, fra cui la grande Sala Turinetti, le cui finestre affacciano sull'elegante piazza San Carlo.

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Turinetti, commissioned by the Marquis Giorgio Turinetti di Priero, banker of the Duchy of Savoy, is an authentic jewel set in the heart of Turin. Located on Piazza San Carlo, it presents itself as one of the main protagonists of the harmonious urban scenography that makes this square the true "living room" of the city. The long portico of the building, in perfect harmony with the other historic buildings that overlook it, creates a visual effect of extraordinary elegance and refinement, amplifying the beauty of one of the public spaces most loved by Turin residents and visitors. Entering the interiors, you immediately perceive the echo of the past, with the furnishings, the wood paneling, and the refined stuccos that retain the authentic charm of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The skilful restoration, following the devastation of war, has returned to the palace not only its original majesty, but has also enriched it with precious works of art: French-made tapestries and a pictorial collection spanning four centuries, with masterpieces by masters such as Francia, Cignaroli, Rapous and De Mura. Each room seems to tell a story, in which time stops and art becomes an open window onto past eras. On 20 May 2022, the palace experienced a new rebirth, becoming the Turin headquarters of the Gallerie d'Italia, thanks to an architectural project designed by Michele De Lucchi. De Lucchi managed in an extraordinary way to combine respect for the history of the building with the need to make it a modern museum space. Walking through the exhibition rooms, you perceive a constant dialogue between past and present, between the rigor of history and the freshness of the contemporary. Visiting Palazzo Turinetti today is a unique experience, you are immersed in a beauty made of details, between plays of light that caress the stuccos, and reflections that are lost in the ancient mirrors. It is a place that is not limited to being visited, but which is experienced, an architecture that envelops and fascinates, in which art is not only hung on the walls, but permeates every corner, every surface. (Original) Il Palazzo Turinetti, commissionato dal Marchese Giorgio Turinetti di Priero, banchiere del Ducato di Savoia, è un autentico gioiello incastonato nel cuore di Torino. Situato su Piazza San Carlo, si presenta come uno dei protagonisti principali dell’armoniosa scenografia urbana che fa di questa piazza il vero “salotto” della città. Il lungo porticato del palazzo, in perfetto accordo con gli altri edifici storici che vi si affacciano, crea un effetto visivo di straordinaria eleganza e raffinatezza, amplificando la bellezza di uno degli spazi pubblici più amati dai torinesi e dai visitatori. Entrando negli interni, si percepisce subito l’eco del passato, con gli arredi, le boiserie, e i raffinati stucchi che conservano il fascino autentico del Sei-Settecento. Il sapiente restauro, successivo alla devastazione bellica, ha restituito al palazzo non solo la sua originaria maestosità, ma lo ha anche arricchito con opere d'arte preziose: arazzi di manifattura francese e una collezione pittorica che attraversa quattro secoli, con capolavori di maestri come il Francia, Cignaroli, Rapous e De Mura. Ogni stanza sembra raccontare una storia, in cui il tempo si ferma e l’arte diventa una finestra aperta su epoche passate. Il 20 maggio 2022, il palazzo ha vissuto una nuova rinascita, diventando la sede torinese delle Gallerie d’Italia, grazie a un progetto architettonico firmato da Michele De Lucchi. De Lucchi è riuscito in modo straordinario a coniugare il rispetto per la storia del palazzo con la necessità di renderlo un moderno spazio museale. Camminando tra le sale espositive, si percepisce un dialogo costante tra passato e presente, tra il rigore della storia e la freschezza del contemporaneo. Visitare il Palazzo Turinetti oggi è un’esperienza unica, si è immersi in una bellezza fatta di dettagli, tra giochi di luce che accarezzano gli stucchi, e riflessi che si perdono nelle antiche specchiere. Si tratta di un luogo che non si limita ad essere visitato, ma che si vive, un’architettura che avvolge e affascina, in cui l’arte non è solo appesa alle pareti, ma impregna ogni angolo, ogni superficie.

(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. Bellissimo atrio con colonne tortili e la volta a vela , bello lo scalone che conduce al piano nobile che ha subito molte modifiche nel '700, '800 e '900, ma conserva ancora decorazioni e affreschi originali.

(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!

For one time visit it is good. I feel it could be better. They could use the olace to show of more of the kings furniture or living style. It seemed very empty. With all those rooms they could put together a very spectacular thing. The most important there was an exhibitionn from paintings that the Doges of Genoa owned. But that was not permanent as I understood. The rest meh. I've seen better palaces. It was a good thing that there is a specific bus , the Venaria express, that goes there, and that there are places to eat and shop there,outside the palace, so you can combine it with lunch or a walk.

Wonderful palace not very far from the city. The gardens are beautiful and really nice to walk around and take pictures. There is also an art exhibition that had some amazing pieces. The palace it self is quite big and has a lot of rooms that feel somewhat empty, I think they could utilize some more items and show them at their respective rooms. We also got the audio guide but we didn't really use it after all so I wouldn't recommend it that much. Overall really beautiful and worth visiting.

Reggia di Venaria Castle in Turin, a stunning example of Baroque architecture, captivates visitors with its grandeur and intricate design. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, the castle offers a serene escape from the bustling city. Inside, the opulent rooms are adorned with exquisite frescoes and lavish furnishings that reflect the royal history of the Savoy dynasty. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, it not only showcases Italy's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a venue for art exhibitions and cultural events throughout the year.

Amazing palace. Definitely worth a visit but the visit with the gardens can take up to a full day considering a transfer from Turin. Consider it in your trip. Would definitely come back

I recommend. We visited just the gardens, it takes you about 4-5h, I recomand, but we visited in 2023 at 36 degrees Celsius, and it was torture, but in 2025 at 24 degrees, it was beautiful, the gardens are very big, we didn't manage to visit every garden, if you want a good walk, it's recomanded. Be careful, on Saturdays the last train(tour, 5€ adults) is at 12:30, and the next oan is at 3 pm. Also, I was absolutely eaten by mosquitoes, so I recommend spraying a anti-isect spray before going in the gardens. The ice cream shop in the rise garden was not open.

Definitly a must do! A bit far from the center of Torino but it is so worth it. Plan the day to visit because there is a lot to see. You can easily spend 2h/2h30 in the palace and 2h in the gardens if you explore every area (there is also a little train). The estate is huge and the renovation work that has been done to preserve and restore it is amazing. You learn a lot about the history of the castle, the royal families that ruled and the conquests they unfolded. When I visited the palace, there was some work going on in some parts, so the entrance ticket that day was 8 euros for the palace and the gardens, which was a very nice additionning surprise!

A Masterpiece of Majesty and Light – La Venaria Reale I had the privilege of visiting La Venaria Reale today—an experience that transcends the notion of a palace visit and becomes instead an intimate dialogue with European history, art, and architecture at its zenith. From the celestial heights of the Cappella di Sant’Uberto, crowned with the breathtaking dome and housing Francesco Trevisani’s 1724 altarpiece, to the geometrically exquisite Galleria Grande, the entire estate is a declaration of Baroque magnificence. Walking through the softly curtained thresholds, the marble-clad galleries, and the sun-drenched halls adorned with sculpture and silence, one senses the aesthetic discipline and spiritual symbolism that shaped the House of Savoy’s royal narrative. The palace does not merely exhibit artworks—it becomes one. Its rhythm of alternating light and shadow, its whispered echoes under vaulted ceilings, and its deliberate, ceremonial transitions between rooms, make the visitor not just a guest, but a participant in a royal theatre of time. A must for those who seek depth in beauty, discipline in design, and reverence in detail.

Very nice place, full of options including good restaurants.

Probably the best supermarket I’ve ever been to, genuinely. It has a pub!! The gelato area serves great quality gelato. They have a greenhouse to grow their own herbs. It was amazing. Worth a visit if you’re close by.

Awesome place to hangout with friends. Go there and enjoy the nearest piranhas you to offer.burger king, ipercoop,McDonald's are the best place where you can hangout..

Popularly called Auchan is at Via Corso Guilio Cesare. Big shopping mall where you get everything you need from groceries, to clothings and shoes, watches and jewelleries and more. There's a beauty salon and a pharmacy. There's also An ATM machine in case you run out of cash. Bet, you would love it here!

Love it

Good for variety of products shopping! Not expensive.

Amazin place.. well designed. Full of brand name shops. Lots of parking space

Short walks with loved ones. Cool place open atmosphere, Hangout with friends. Relax and just enjoy the nature

Good place but lonely me

Definitely a place to visit if you are in town, beautiful architecture, the garden could use a little work but it's nice all the same.

A fitting setting for a music library: the gorgeous architecture adds charm to a peaceful environment where silence is only interluded by classical music performances

Nice park

Wonderful place for walk with family and children, there are games attraction for children and place for dog.

Amazing place to visit, you feel like entering in an old storical time

Great location by the river. Small portions od food, good wine. Staff is solid but they don't speak much of english. Bathroom and terrace are spacious.

My brothers wedding was well looked after at a very pleasant pace. The food was good banquet quality food made to his specification outstanding dish was a raw meat dish similar to tartar. The tortellini cooked in beef broth was also outstanding. I would also like to highlight our waitress and her attention to Kaydens need for simple sorting a tomato pasta dish timed to arrive as we started eating. Great service friendly staff lovely venue.

Nice location and good cocktails. But the food? In 5 years of living in Turin this is was easily top 2 worst meals I've had. Actually probably in all of Italy, Student food and by this I mean Oscar Meyer type "sarebbe carne" that was inedible. The pasta? Ramen noodles heated in a microwave would be better. I am surprised someone Italian would serve the food that was served.

Food are good, perfect service especially for graduation. However, the light outside is not designed well, it can be better with the nice view to Po river

Pretty good and nice

Prince number 1

Bella location

Via Roma is the Main Street in Torino. The street features columns, galleries. It’s the city most commercial zone. Major fashion brands ! Worth it

This is the main shopping street in Turin, and it is home to many high-end stores and boutiques.

The vibe is very pleasant, not overcrowded, with nice stores. Perfect for a walk to the center

The best street to have a walk and shop the best brands worldwide

Very nice stroll in Turin with all the luxury brands

I really love this place the ice cream was so sweet and I love it 🥰 can’t wait to go again.

Busy street with a lot of shops

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Chiablese is located near the Palazzo Reale and is connected to it by a gallery. Entrance from the Duomo side. The museum does not work on a permanent basis. You can get inside with a tour conducted by volunteers. As a rule, it is necessary to make an appointment for a visit in advance. Interesting interiors in the Rococo style have been preserved in the palace. (Original) Palazzo Chiablese знаходиться біля Палацу Реале та з'єднаний з ним галереєю. Вхід зі сторони Дуомо. Музей не працює на постійній основі. Попасти всередину можна з екскурсією , яку проводять волонтери. Як правило , треба завчасно записатися на відвідування. В палаці збереглися цікаві інтер'єри в стилі рококо.

(Translated by Google) In the beating heart of Savoy Turin, a few steps from the Duomo and the Royal Palace, one of the most elegant and least known places in the city has finally reopened to the public: Palazzo Chiablese. A palace that does not dazzle with its monumentality, but conquers with its reserved grace, with that intimate atmosphere that smells of history lived and preserved in silence. Commissioned by Carlo Emanuele III for his son Benedetto Maurizio and designed by the refined Benedetto Alfieri, Palazzo Chiablese was one of the most sought-after apartments in the city since the eighteenth century. Over the centuries it has welcomed illustrious figures such as Paolina Bonaparte, Camillo Borghese, Carlo Felice and even little Margherita, who would become the first Queen of Italy. After the serious damage suffered by the bombings of 1943, the building was transformed into the headquarters of the Superintendence and closed to the public. Today, after a careful restoration, it finally returns to tell its story. The tour, available exclusively by reservation, takes visitors through state rooms, reception rooms and private spaces, some of which are still being restored. It is not just an exhibition of historic spaces, but a true story in which past and present dialogue with measure and poetry. Some original furnishings are particularly striking, such as the exceptional folding desk by Pietro Piffetti, recovered by the Nucleo Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale, and the works granted on deposit by the Accorsi-Ometto Foundation. Among the most evocative gems, two overdoors by Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli and an altarpiece of the Annunciation attributed to Marcantonio Franceschini, from the castle of Pomaro Monferrato, now rearranged to evoke the Duke's small private oratory. To complete the picture, an eighteenth-century wooden altar from a Turin collection, which conveys an atmosphere of domestic, silent and intimate sacredness. There is a room, damaged by the bombings, which was deliberately left in memory of the offices of the Superintendence that were located here for decades. It is a moment of truth and respect for a recent history, often forgotten, but an integral part of the identity of the palace. This reopening was possible thanks to the collaboration between institutions and foundations: the Friends of Palazzo Reale Association, the Consulta for the valorization of artistic and cultural assets, the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation and the La Venaria Reale Conservation and Restoration Center. A choral effort, which has given the city a precious space and, today, also a living place: the splendid reception rooms host the celebration of civil weddings, once again intertwining history with life. Visiting Palazzo Chiablese means entering a suspended time. You walk among frescoes, furnishings, silences. You feel the presence of past stories, like a breath that hovers between the rooms. It is an experience that speaks to the heart and the eyes, and that deserves to be lived slowly and respectfully. Guided tours by reservation only. (Original) Nel cuore pulsante della Torino sabauda, a pochi passi dal Duomo e da Palazzo Reale, ha riaperto finalmente al pubblico uno dei luoghi più eleganti e meno conosciuti della città: Palazzo Chiablese. Un palazzo che non abbaglia con la monumentalità, ma conquista con la sua grazia riservata, con quell’atmosfera raccolta che sa di storia vissuta e custodita nel silenzio. Voluto da Carlo Emanuele III per il figlio Benedetto Maurizio e progettato dal raffinato Benedetto Alfieri, Palazzo Chiablese fu fin dal Settecento uno degli appartamenti più ricercati della città. Nel corso dei secoli ha accolto figure illustri come Paolina Bonaparte, Camillo Borghese, Carlo Felice e persino la piccola Margherita, che sarebbe divenuta la prima Regina d’Italia. Dopo i gravi danni subiti dai bombardamenti del 1943, l’edificio fu trasformato in sede della Soprintendenza e chiuso al pubblico. Oggi, dopo un accurato restauro, torna finalmente a raccontare la sua storia. Il percorso di visita, disponibile esclusivamente su prenotazione, accompagna i visitatori attraverso sale da parata, ambienti di rappresentanza e spazi privati, alcuni ancora in fase di restauro. Non si tratta solo di un’esposizione di ambienti storici, ma di un vero e proprio racconto in cui passato e presente dialogano con misura e poesia. Colpiscono in particolare alcuni arredi originali, come l’eccezionale scrivania a ribalta di Pietro Piffetti, recuperata dal Nucleo Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale, e le opere concesse in deposito dalla Fondazione Accorsi-Ometto. Tra le chicche più suggestive, due sovrapporte di Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli e una pala dell’Annunciazione attribuita a Marcantonio Franceschini, proveniente dal castello di Pomaro Monferrato, oggi riallestita per evocare il piccolo oratorio privato del Duca. A completare il quadro, un altare ligneo settecentesco di collezione torinese, che restituisce un’atmosfera di sacralità domestica, silenziosa e raccolta. C’è una sala, danneggiata dai bombardamenti, che è stata volutamente lasciata a memoria degli uffici della Soprintendenza che qui hanno avuto sede per decenni. È un momento di verità e rispetto per una storia recente, spesso dimenticata, ma parte integrante dell’identità del palazzo. Questa riapertura è stata possibile grazie alla collaborazione tra istituzioni e fondazioni: l’Associazione Amici di Palazzo Reale, la Consulta per la valorizzazione dei beni artistici e culturali, la Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo e il Centro di Conservazione e Restauro La Venaria Reale. Un lavoro corale, che ha restituito alla città uno spazio prezioso e, oggi, anche un luogo vivo: le splendide sale di rappresentanza ospitano infatti la celebrazione dei matrimoni civili, intrecciando ancora una volta la storia alla vita. Visitare Palazzo Chiablese significa entrare in un tempo sospeso. Si cammina tra affreschi, arredi, silenzi. Si avverte la presenza delle storie passate, come un respiro che aleggia tra le stanze. È un’esperienza che parla al cuore e agli occhi, e che merita di essere vissuta con lentezza e rispetto. Visite guidate esclusivamente su prenotazione.

(Translated by Google) Palazzo Chiablese has its entrance from Piazza S.Giovanni Battista (Duomo) and borders the church of San Lorenzo and Palazzo Reale. It can only be visited on some weekdays and upon reservation and the visits are carried out through guided tours conducted by good and engaging volunteers. Some rooms were bombed and subsequently renovated, not all the furniture belonged to the building, but it can still be traced back to that historical period. For years some rooms were used as offices, subsequently the Fine Arts decided to restore the building to its former glory by allowing guided tours to the public. Some rooms are still undergoing restoration. At its entrance there is the oldest wisteria plant in Turin. (Original) Palazzo Chiablese ha l'ingresso dalla piazza S.Giovanni Battista (Duomo) e confina con la chiesa di San Lorenzo e con palazzo Reale. È visitabile solo in alcuni giorni feriali e dietro prenotazione e le visite vengono effettuate attraverso visita guidata condotta da bravi e coinvolgenti volontari. Alcuni locali sono stati bombardati e successivamente ristrutturati, non tutto l'arredamento apparteneva al palazzo, ma è comunque riconducibile a quel periodo storico. Per anni alcuni locali sono stati adibiti ad uffici, successivamente le Belle Arti hanno deciso di riportare il palazzo agli antichi splendori consentendo visite guidate al pubblico. Alcuni locali sono ancora oggetto di restauro. Al suo ingresso si trova la pianta di glicine più antica di Torino.

(Translated by Google) Exhibition "from Botticelli to Muha". Very beautiful: each room deals with an aspect of beauty. In the first room there is Venus, but in the following ones there are the Graces and the various "beauties" of mythology (Leda, Helen...), ending with the icons of the 19th century, obsessed with their beauty (the Countess of Castiglione and Sissi), and the first divas of cinema. (Original) Mostra "da Botticelli a Muha". Molto bella: ogni sala affronta un aspetto della bellezza. Nella prima sala c'è Venere, ma in quelle successive ci sono le Grazie e le varie"belle" della mitologia (Leda, Elena...), per finire con le icone del XIX secolo, ossessionate dalla loro bellezza (la contessa di Castiglione e Sissi), e le prime dive del cinema.

(Translated by Google) Visited during the "From Botticelli to Mucha" exhibition, which to call it stunning is an understatement: you're immersed in a setting where the light is expertly controlled (very low), highlighting the works while simultaneously forcing silence (which should be the rule, but alas, isn't always the case). An hour spent immersed in art that isn't ostentatious, but is available to anyone who wants to soak up its aura. A must-see. (Original) Visitato in occasione di una mostra “Da Botticelli a Mucha” che definire stupenda è dir poco: ci si immerge in un contesto in cui la luce è sapientemente dosata (molto bassa), il che mette in risalto le opere e, contemporaneamente, obbliga a mantenere il silenzio (che dovrebbe essere la regola, ma che ahimè, non sempre lo è). Un’ora trascorsa immersi nell’arte non ostentata, ma a disposizione di chi vorrà respirarne l’aura. Da vedere assolutamente.

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) Excellent location, convenient to the ring road. The manager worked very well; she was helpful and attentive to detail. Everyone appreciated the catering service. (Original) Ottima location, comoda alla tangenziale. Molto bella la collaborazione con la responsabile, disponibile e attenta ai dettagli. Apprezzato da tutti il servizio catering.

(Translated by Google) Convenient to reach from the ring road (Corso Regina Margherita exit), visited for a corporate Christmas event. We had three rooms available. A beautiful location also for ceremonies (weddings)... A positive surprise, I didn't even know that such a castle existed in that corner of the city (Original) Comodo da raggiungere con la tangenziale (uscita corso Regina Margherita), visitato per un evento aziendale di Natale. Avevamo a disposizione tre sale. Una bella location anche per cerimonie (matrimoni)... Una sorpresa positiva, non sapevo neppure che esistesse un castello del genere in quell' angolo della città
