Square in Turin

Piazza Castello

Piazza Castello is the central square of Turin, surrounded by the Royal Palace, the Palazzo Madama, the Royal Theatre, and arcaded porticoes. Free. The square is the heart of the Savoy royal capital and the starting point for Turin’s famous covered arcades that stretch for 18 kilometers through the city center. Budget travelers walk from Piazza Castello through the porticoes to Piazza San Carlo (the “drawing room of Turin”) and stay dry in any weather.
