Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

Radical change of atmosphere and scenery, you are in front of one of the 4 Roman gates of the city of Augusta Taurinorum: the majestic Palatine Gate!
Stop 2

Passing by

Here you are in front of Turin Cathedral and its beautiful red brick campanile. If we go back to the time when Turin was still called Taurinorum, you would have a theatre here.
Stop 3

Passing by

Here you are, facing the royal palace of Turin. The Dukes of Savoy, who had lived at the Château de Chambéry since 1416, decided in 1562 to move their capital to the other side of the Alps and to come and settle in Turin.
Stop 4

Passing by

It does not stand out too much, quietly installed in the effervescent royal square, but the church of San Lorenzo is as discreet as it is unmissable.
Mole Antonelliana

Passing by

You see it almost all the time, and here you are at last at the foot of the famous Mole Antonelliana. Built in 1863 to house the Synagogue of Turin, the ambitious work according to plans devised by Alessandro Antonelli, would eventually take so long and cost so much that the city would eventually buy the building under construction and install the Museum of Italian Unification.
Stop 6

Passing by

The strange bronze statue you see there is the work of French sculptor Marc Didou. He was inspired by the inverted stone statue Medusa, which may be familiar to you if you have ever visited the mysterious Basilica cistern of Istanbul.
Piazza Vittorio Veneto

Passing by

You are in the huge Vittorio Veneto square, which served as a place of arms for centuries. Thanks to its surface area of 31000m2, it regularly hosts major cultural events, and was the official venue for gatherings during the liberation of Italy in April 1945.
Stop 8

Passing by

Bridges usually combine the useful with the pleasant, allowing us to cross rivers and enjoy a clear view of the city. Here you have a beautiful panorama of the Po, which is the longest river in Italy.
Stop 9

Passing by

The crossing of the Victor Emmanuel Bridge gave you an increasingly beautiful view of the church of Gran Madre di Dio until you took it to its forecourt.
Stop 10

Passing by

His name is omnipresent in Italy and especially in Turin, his hometown. You crossed his garden, passed by his metro station and crossed without seeing them streets, squares and passages.
Piazza San Carlo

Passing by

How beautiful is Piazza San Carlo with its two twin churches, its bell tower, its elegant facades and its statue! This pedestrian square is one of the most pleasant and harmonious in Turin.
Stop 12

Passing by

From here, you have a great perspective to understand the extent of Via Roma. See in front of you, this endless alley of arcades lined with great fashion brands, and behind you, from where you come, the square San Carlo, with Via Roma that continues between churches and continues to the station.
Palazzo Carignano

Passing by

It is very classy, and imposes seriously: here is the Palais Carignan. If it is so beautiful, it is because it was the residence of the princes of Carignan, younger branch of the Royal House of Savoy.
Quadrilatero Romano

Passing by

You are now in the heart of what is known as the Roman Quadrilateral. So this is where it all started.
Stop 15

Passing by

Here you are in the Plaza della Consolata, facing the impressive eponymous church. At the base, there was a small Romanesque church of the 10th century dedicated to Saint Andrew
Mercato Itinerante Porta Palazzo

Passing by

Nothing better to take the pulse of a city and discover its true essence, than to wander its Point of Sale. On the Plaza de Porta Palazzo, the largest Point of Sale in Turin, is spread out in front of you.
Galleria Subalpina

Passing by

You are now entering an enchanted bracket. The subalpine gallery is a historic shopping gallery in Turin.
Stop 18

Passing by

Back in Piazza Castello, you are facing the magnificent palace Madame. Here is how the Italian poet Guido Gozzano described the building: “No building contains so much time, history, poetry.
Stop 19

Passing by

Stop for a moment and watch carefully the angle of the building facing the beautiful baroque church. You are not dreaming, it is well equipped with a piercing!
Stop 20

Passing by

You are in front of the Città Palace, built in the 18th century and now home to the Turin City Inn. But the square of the same name did not wait for the arrival of the town hall to become the center of municipal power: it has hosted the administrative institutions of the city since 1472.
Stop 21

Passing by

The small church you see on your left is the only medieval red brick Gothic church in the city. Built between 1227 and 1280, it is considered, together with the Church of the Consolata, the oldest place of worship in the city.
