  • A beautiful old Grand square just outside the Plazzo Reale. It is lined with lovely old buildings. Quite unlike many other cities.

  • Nice place to go and check out, you can also go into the Donjon and see everything from up there. You have nice seatings and areas to relax
  • Beautiful please spending time with family and friend
  • It's an amazing square with three different palaces built in three different historical periods. The royal palace and the Madama palace are museums which you can visit. There is also the tourist info center their which you can buy tickets for all the Piedmont museums and probably even public Transportation.
  • Amazing square with buildings that are awesome to look at. The stone work in particular is incredibly done! Looks super pretty in the night too!
  • Such a beautiful city. If you are visiting Torino and you are wondering whether you should walk somewhere or not, definitely walk.
