Must-Visit Attractions in Turin, Italy
Mole Antonellina
The tall spire of Mole Antonelliana is the pinnacle of the Turin skyline and an iconic symbol of the city. It was built in 1848 and is now the National Museum of Cinema. But the real draw is the viewing platform at the top of the building, which offers amazing views of the city and mountains beyond.
Piazza Castello
In the heart of the historic centre of Turin is Piazza Castello, which hosts two major Baroque structures—Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama. Palazzo Reale was originally built in the 16th century, and underwent modification in the late 17th century. Palazzo Madama dates from 1003 and is now home to the Museo Civico d’ Arte Antica, which has a remarkable collection of paintings from the medieval, Renaissance and baroque periods.
Basilica di Superga
The Basilica di Superga was built in the 18th century on the Superga hill with stunning views over the city and wider landscape. From here you can see peaks of the Alps such as Monviso and Doufour peak.
Parco del Valentino
Located on the west bank of the River Po that runs through the city, Parco del Valentino makes for lovely walks. The park is also home to the Castillo del Valentino-one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy with UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Quadrilatero Romano
This is a central neighbourhood, where an ancient Roman settlement once stood. The network of small streets is made up of beautiful historic buildings that are home to interesting shops, bars and restaurants, as well as remnants of the former Roman structures.
