Highlights
- Teatro Regio di Torino - The Teatro Regio di Torino is the premier opera house in Turin and one of the largest and most significant theaters in Italy, as well as a key player in the European cultural scene. Visit outside.
- Palazzo Madama - Situated in the heart of Turin, Palazzo Madama is a quintessential monumental building in Piedmont, encapsulating the city’s history. Originally a Roman gate in the Middle Ages, it was transformed into a fortress, then the castle of the princes of Achaia, and finally, in the 18th century, it received its grand facade by Filippo Juvarra. Named after the two royal Madams who resided there—Christina of France (1606 - 1663) and Maria Giovanna Battista of Savoy Nemours (1644 - 1724)—the palace served as the seat of the first Subalpine Senate and the first Senate of the Kingdom of Italy. Visit outside.
- Palazzo Reale Di Torino - Located in the oldest part of Turin, the Royal Palace boasts an elegant Baroque facade and a unique blend of architectural styles. For three centuries, it was a prestigious center of power for the Savoy family. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, this majestic palace showcases the work of renowned artists from the 17th to the 19th centuries, making it a significant site of artistic and cultural interest in Turin. Visit outside.
- Galleria Subalpina - The Galleria Industria Subalpina, commonly known as Galleria Subalpina, is one of Turin’s most iconic symbols. Designed by Pietro Carrera in the late 1800s, it exemplifies a classic commercial gallery dedicated to bourgeois leisure activities, reminiscent of the French passages in Paris.
- Palazzo Carignano - The Palazzo dei Principi di Carignano is a historic building in central Turin, showcasing exquisite European Baroque architecture. Alongside Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama, it is one of the city’s most important historical buildings and part of the UNESCO Residenze Sabaude serial site. It was the historic seat of the Subalpine Parliament (1848-1861) and the first Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1864).
- Piazza San Carlo - Piazza San Carlo, known as the elegant “Salotto di Torino,” is one of the most beautiful and significant squares in Turin and Europe. The historic cafes under its arcades, such as Caffè San Carlo, Caffè Torino, and Confetterie Stratta, which was a supplier to the royal house in the 19th century, are particularly famous.
- Mole Antonelliana - The Mole Antonelliana is a monumental building in Turin’s historic center, symbolizing both the city and Italy. Standing at 167.5 meters, it was the tallest masonry building in the world from 1889 to 1908. Although no longer the tallest building in Turin due to modern constructions, it remains the tallest in the city’s central urban profile. Since 2000, it has housed the National Cinema Museum.
