Starting from the city’s main square, Piazza Castello, we’ll take Via XX Settembre and, passing by the Church of San Lorenzo and the Cathedral of Turin, we’ll come to the historic Porta Palatina, the main archaeological evidence of the Roman period. From here, we’ll go into the vibrant world of Porta Palazzo, the largest open air market in Europe, where colours, sounds and traditions intertwine with creating a magical atmosphere.

The Royal Palace is an impressive seventeenth-century building, which has been altered and extended on various occasions down the centuries. It still bears traces of the work of the most important artists active in Turin. Until 1865 it served as the residence of the Dukes of Savoy, the Kings of Sardinia and the Kings of Italy. It is possible to visit the royal apartments, lavishly decorated and furnished from the seventeenth to the twentieth century to the taste of the Savoy sovereigns. Clocks, porcellain, silver and furnishings, some dating back to the seventeenth century, can be seen.
