Empire to Elegance: Audio Tour of Turin Royal History and Mystery

Despre activitate

Turin hasn’t just preserved its past – it’s woven it into the fabric of daily life. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover how Roman foundations, medieval power struggles, and royal ambitions shaped this elegant northern Italian city. You’ll find out how Turin evolved from Julius Caesar’s military outpost to the sophisticated first capital of united Italy, while hearing mysterious legends that still haunt its streets. The tour starts at Porta Palatina, the impressive ancient Roman gateway built in the 1st century BCE. Along the way, you’ll discover how the House of Savoy transformed Turin into a royal capital through centuries of strategic diplomacy. You’ll stroll through elegant porticoed streets and historic galleries en route to Palazzo Madama with its contrasting medieval and baroque facades. The tour ends at the Gran Madre di Dio church across the Po River, where some believe the statue points to the hidden location of the Holy Grail.
