Royal Palace of Turin

One of the few remaining architectures which fall in the Baroque category is the Royal Palace of Turin. Resting in the city center of Turin, it is rumored that in the 17th century, the then regent, Christina Marie of France, ordered the construction of this place. She wanted the palace to be as lavish and remarkable for her son, who was returning from the civil war. In the 20th century, however, the palace became a property of the state and a museum, and later on, it was added to the Unesco World Heritage List. To visit the royal palace, you can board a bus from the Torino Airport with your regular, daily, or multi-daily ticket.

Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist

Each and every city in Italy is filled with ancient cathedrals and churches. These cathedrals are solely responsible for Italy's gothic impression on tourists. As is apparent, Turin posits one of Italy's most important cathedrals, The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. Dating back to the 15th century, it was constructed during the renaissance period, which can be observed from the paintings and architecture of the cathedral. This cathedral is famous among many tourists because the cathedral is home to a shroud which many believe was the piece of linen used to wrap Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. As we said, stories like these add to the mystery and awe around Italy, therefore, you must travel to this place.

Porta Palatina

Residing behind the cathedral is Porta Palatina. One of Turin's most preserved pieces of architecture was constructed more than 2000 years ago, i.e., a century before Jesus Christ. The port was an entry gate from the times of the ancient Romans, which is why it is a pride for the Turinese. You can visit this place and observe something which has survived historical wars and natural decay and stands still even today.

Borgo Medievale

A small village that has been turned into an open museum in Turin, Borgo Medievale was built in 1884 by the Savoie family. A saying among the Turinese people is that, as you walk through this village, you may feel like you're returning in time. One of the reasons is that, in the town, many small local shops sell metal and paper artifacts which were very popular in the 19th century. The place is also preserved with extreme attention to detail; even the planets grown there are in accordance with the kinds of plants that would have existed back in the past. Whatever the reason is, this place is a favorite among the locals and, therefore, must be visited.

Mole Antonelliana

Cinema is one of the highly followed art forms in Italy, and one can understand that by seeing the contribution of Italian filmmakers to world cinema. Because of this, it shouldn't be surprising that many Italian cities host film festivals and posit numerous film museums. Mole Antonelliana is one such museum in Turin that provides deep and scientific analysis of films. This place is popular among film geeks and should be visited by those who come to Italy for the Venice Film Festivals.
