PIAZZA CASTELLO

Piazza Castello is one of the popular things to see in Turin for locals to gather for after-work drinks due to its sophisticated atmosphere and constant tram traffic. The Royal Palace, the palace in the center known as Palazzo Madama, the opera house Teatro Regio, and many other significant landmarks can all be found in this incredible location.

Piazza Castello is one of the geographic and historical things to see in Turin though the term "il centro" refers to a much larger area for the natives. The city of Turin, originally known as Augusta Taurinorum during the Roman era, originated in this area. From its current state, you would never guess that Piazza Castello was once a busy thoroughfare where cars, buses, and trams circled the central Palazzo Madama. It is now a popular gathering spot, hosting concerts and other events near some of Turin's most well-known museums and monuments. The Museum of Civic Ancient Art is located in the palatial Palazzo Madama, which itself is an architectural marvel.
