The former Province of Turin (Italian: Provincia di Torino; Piemontese: Provincia ëd Turin; French: Province de Turin) was a province in the Piedmont region of Italy. Its capital was the city of Turin. The province existed until 31 December 2014, when it was replaced by the Metropolitan City of Turin.

Basilica of Superga

Reviewed By kensA8864VK - Columbia, United States

A fun trip. Bus 61 or 68 or tram 15 (1.50 euro) to Saasi-Superga. Finucular (9 euro round trip) to the top, short walk to Basilica. Stunning views of Torino. From here there are walking paths that seem to go many km. The funicular returns once per hour on the half-hour. I did not go in the Basilica, but doing so might extend your stay at Basilica to 2 hours, which in my opinion is too long. Behind the Basilica is a small monument to the AC Torino soccer team that perished in a plane crash. There is a nice wooded path to walk to/from the funicular station to Basilica (15 minutes). The bar at the station has drinks, ice cream, and snacks. Altogether, a good 2-3 hour trip.

Piazza Castello

Designed in 1564 by Vitozzi. It's lined with porticoes and is the real heart of the city: here and hereabouts stand the great buildings that have witnessed the development of the city, from the ancient Roman era to our days. In the middle of the square stands Palazzo Madama and on the side you could see The Royal Theatre, The Royal Palace , the Royal Library (that houses Leonardo da Vinci 's operas). In Piazza Castello (The Castle Square) begin the most important central streets, like Rome Street, Po Street, Garibaldi Street and Pietro Micca Street.

Piazza Castello is the most central square in Turin and was formed in the middle of 14th Century with the majority of construction taking place between 16th and 18th Centuries. Palazzo Madama was the original seat of the Italian parliament and dominates the square. At the northern edge of Piazza Castello is Palazzo Reale which was built for Carlo Emanuele II. I enjoyed visiting the square which was incredibly quiet when I visited in July 2020.

Piazza San Carlo

Piazza San Carlo was designed by Carlo di Castellamonte in 1642 and completed in 1650. In the middle of the piazza you’ll find the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto (known to all as “El Caval èd brons”), sculpted by Carlo Marocchetti in 1838. The porticoed buildings surrounding the piazza give space to numerous bars, cafes, and restaurants.

Posh shops, churches, statue, open space, cafes. A lovely area that can accommodate many people without being crowded.

Mole Antonelliana

Reviewed By lfiebert - Lansdale, United States

The elevator ride and views at the top are spectacular - the building is really interesting architecturally and the Torino National Cinema Museum which is located in the Mole is a must see attraction in Torino. We spent three-hours and barely touched the surface. It is a great place for a film buff, movie historian, or for anyone that likes to walk around in a delightful engaging building with superb displays.
