What to see in Turin in two days? The main attractions of Turin: list and description Church of Our Lady of the Great.

Even taking into account the fact that you will have not one, but two days to get to know Turin, this time is unlikely to be enough to see all the interesting things. Suffice it to say that Turin is the first capital of Italy. First of all, the city is famous for its museums, churches and palaces. But I advise you to start getting acquainted with this beautiful city from the main city square - Castello Square. City life in this square was vibrant even in the Roman era. It is from this square that the main streets of the city originate and important city buildings also face here. In the center of the square is the beautiful Madama Palace, which is a double-sided building with two completely different facades. Now four floors of this palace are occupied by the Museum of Ancient Art, among the exhibits of which you can see Greek vases, ivory, bronze, glass, ceramics, precious stones, fabrics and others.

Turin is home to the tallest building in Italy, which is made using the hand-laid method. We are talking about the Tower of Passion, which was built in 1889. This tower is of tourist interest not only because of its original architecture and historical component, but also because its observation platforms offer an excellent view of the city (the whole of Turin is visible in full view). Also within the walls of the tower there is a cinema museum, which was founded in 1996 and introduces visitors to the history of cinema (it’s worth a look at the museum; among its exhibits there are many interesting items).

The next place worth visiting in Turin is the Egyptian Museum. It is located in the city center, in a 17th century palace. This museum literally allows visitors to immerse themselves in the world of Egypt. Within its walls are stored such exhibits as the Turin papyrus, papyrus of gold mines, the tomb of a famous architect and his wife and many other exhibits related to Egyptian civilization.

While in this Italian city, it is impossible to pass by such interesting places as the Cathedral of John the Baptist and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud. It is in this chapel that you can see the Shroud of Turin, which is both the city's most famous and most controversial landmark. It is believed that it was in this shroud that Jesus Christ was wrapped after being taken down from the cross. Whether this is true or not is very difficult to say; there are many disputes and legends surrounding this fact, but nevertheless, every year this place is visited by a huge number of pilgrims from different countries of the world who believe in the miraculous power of the shrine. On the lower floors of the cathedral is the Museum of Sacred Art.

Another religious attraction that deserves special attention is the Church of St. Lawrence. It is located on Piazza Castello and is considered the most beautiful temple in the city. From the outside, this church does not cause much admiration, but when you get inside, you begin to understand why this particular cathedral is considered the most beautiful.

Even if you are not one of the people who like to visit opera houses, the Reggio Opera House in Turin is worth a look. This theater is considered one of the most prestigious theaters not only in Italy, but throughout Europe (it is also called the Royal Theater). The theater was built in 1740 and underwent extensive renovation and restoration in 1973 after a major fire. The luxurious five-tier hall can simultaneously accommodate 1,750 spectators. This place is considered the center of the cultural life of the city.

To make your stay in this city easier and get to know its attractions, you should purchase a special Torino-Piemonte tourist card, which gives you free access to many museums, travel on public transport, and discounts in a number of cafes, restaurants, and shops. When purchasing a card, you receive a city map as a gift, indicating the main attractions of the city.

Turin grew out of a small Roman colony. Since the 10th century, the city was ruled by the Dukes of Savoy; after the victory of the movement for the unification of Italy, it was the capital of the Italian Kingdom for 4 years. During the reign of the Savoy dynasty, such architectural masterpieces as Palazzo Reale, Valentino Castle and Villa della Regina appeared in Turin. In the XV-XVIII centuries. Picturesque temples were erected, which still decorate the historical quarters of the city.

Turin is home to one of the best museums of Egyptian culture in the world, the shroud of Jesus Christ himself and a magnificent automobile collection with rare cars. Also in Turin, the famous Juventus team was born, whose victories at the championships never cease to delight fans.

The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.

The architectural ensemble of Castello Square took shape towards the end of the 16th century. The architect A. Vitozzi worked on its appearance. The square is surrounded by the buildings of the Royal Theatre, Palazzo Madama, the Royal Palace, the Armory, the government house and the library. From here the four main streets of Turin diverge in different directions. Also on the square is the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (San Giovanni Battista).

One of the main squares of Turin. It arose in the 17th century after the city became the capital of Savoy. Due to the new status, there was a significant expansion of urban space. The final appearance of the area took shape by the middle of the 19th century, along with the installation of a monument to Duke Emmanuel Philibert, the ruler of Savoy. Piazza San Carlo was reconstructed in 2006 on the eve of the Olympic Games in Turin.

A tall tower that dominates the city's buildings. The building is easily visible from anywhere in Turin. The tower was built according to the design of the ambitious architect A. Antonelliano in the 19th century. The master received an order from the Jewish community to build a synagogue, but was never able to complete the grandiose project, as he died during the work. As a result, the Jews refused to further finance the work, and the city authorities bought the tower. In the 20th century, a cinema museum was located on its territory.

Royal Palace of the Savoyard royal family. The palazzo was rebuilt from the old episcopal palace by order of Duke Emmanuel Philibert in the 17th century. The elegant royal residence is considered one of the most elegant creations of the Baroque style. The site is included in the UNESCO heritage list. In one of the wings of the palazzo there is an art gallery made up of paintings that once belonged to the Dukes of Savoy.

It was here that Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a united Italy, was born in 1820. In the 19th century, parliament met on the territory of the palace; now the building houses a museum. The palazzo was built of red brick in the Baroque style according to the design of G. Guarini.

A French-style castle that was used as one of the residences of the Dukes of Savoy. The building was rebuilt in the 17th century by the will of Christina of France. By the 19th century, the heavily dilapidated castle came under the jurisdiction of the local university. After restoration work, the Turin Motor Show of 1900 was held on its territory. Currently, the Valentino Castle houses the university's Faculty of Architecture.

One of the many palaces of the Dukes of Savoy, built in the 16th century. The mansion was built for Victor Amadeus I's brother, Maurice, but soon the ruler's widow settled here, and the rebellious relative fled to Spain. The Dukes of Savoy owned Villa della Regina until the second half of the 19th century, when the building was sold. In the middle of the 20th century, real estate along with the land went to the state.

A picturesque baroque church of the 18th century, built under Victor Amadeus II according to the design of F. Juvarra. The ruler swore on the top of the Superga hill in 1706 that if he defeated the French, he would build a temple in honor of the Virgin Mary. The result of the fulfillment of this vow was the construction of the basilica, since the French were ultimately defeated. Many representatives of the Savoy dynasty rest on the territory of the temple.

Turin Cathedral of the 15th century, built on the site of a Roman amphitheater and three early Christian churches of the 6th-7th centuries. The temple is a famous place of pilgrimage. The cathedral complex includes the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, where one of the most important Christian relics, the Shroud of Turin, is kept. It is believed that this piece of cloth was used to wrap the body of Jesus after he was taken down from the cross. The cathedral was built according to the design of B. di Francesco.

The temple of the mid-17th century, erected on the site of an earlier church according to the design of G. Guarini, one of the best masters of the Baroque era. The most valuable relic of the temple is the icon of the Madonna and Child, which dates back to the 4th-5th centuries and is considered miraculous. Santuario della Consolata went through several restorations in the 18th-20th centuries. The observation area on the roof of the temple offers a magnificent view of Turin.

The temple is located on top of Capuchin Hill. It is believed that it stands on the very spot where the Holy Grail is hidden. Many superstitions and mystical legends are associated with the church. The building was built in the period 1827-31. in honor of the return from exile of King Victor Emmanuel I of Sardinia. The portico of the main entrance is supported by classical Corinthian columns, in general, the building resembles the Roman Pantheon.

Temple of the 17th century, built according to the design of G. Guarini and F. Yuvar. The baroque façade of the building in light yellow tones fits perfectly into the architectural ensemble of Piazza Castello. The exterior of the church is distinguished by a large amount of stucco and decorative details. The building is topped with an octagonal dome. The interior of the temple is decorated with valuable paintings, statues, sculptures and antique furniture.

The Palatine Gate is located on the territory of the archaeological park, an excavation area created in 2006. The statues of Emperors Octavian Augustus and Julius Caesar, installed opposite the gate, were created in 1934. They are copies of original sculptures that have not survived to this day.

Opera House of Turin, created in the 18th century according to the design of F. Juvarra. A few years after the start of work, the theater was closed by order of the king, and a warehouse was placed in the building. Under Napoleon Bonaparte, the opera stage again began to fulfill its direct functions. In the 20th century, the theater burned down twice, which is why only the façade remained of the original building. After reconstruction, the updated opera opened in 1973. Maria Callas sang at the premiere performance.

Juventus is designed for 41 thousand spectators; during its construction, all current requirements for safety and comfort were taken into account. Due to the special shape of the structure, the playing field is perfectly illuminated.

A city park in the western part of Turin, covering an area of ​​about 83 hectares. The park was named after one of the teachers of the University of Turin - M. Carrara, who did not pledge allegiance to Mussolini. The place is better known due to its informal name “Pelerin” in honor of the cheese factory of the same name, which is located nearby. The park has several football fields, a swimming pool, roller skating tracks and tennis courts.

Located in a picturesque location at the foot of the mountains and the confluence of the Po and Dora Riparia rivers. The city is somewhat different from all others with its strict rectangular layout, wide avenues and squares. Most of the architectural monuments built in Turin date back to the 17th-18th centuries. The area of ​​the historical center exceeds 4 square meters. km. All this means that an active city tour in one day should be a great success!

The main square in the city is Castle Square (Piazza Castello). During the 2006 Winter Olympics, the official ceremony took place here. Among the most important buildings from an architectural point of view is the Royal Palace (Palazzo Reale), which was the residence of the Savoy dynasty for approximately 200 years. The palace, designed by Ascanio Vittozzi, was completely ready in 1658. The building's interior features a staircase and the apartments of the Prince of Piedmont.

Another building on the main city square is Palazzo Madama, which is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. In the old days, the palace was both an observatory and a residence; parliament and court were located here.

In 1861 - 1864, the palazzo was the parliament of the unified, now the Museum of the Risorgimento (movement for the unification of Italy) is also symbolically located here.

After a walk along Piazza Castello, you can see the Turin Cathedral, which is within walking distance of the city's most important palaces - Palazzo Madama and the Royal Palace. Art historians especially emphasize that this is the only temple in the entire city that was built in the Renaissance style (construction began in 1491). In the 17th century, the Chapel of the Holy Shroud (Cappella della Sacra Sindone) was erected here. It is intended to store the “Shroud of Turin”. Believers believe that it was in it that the body of Jesus Christ was wrapped after death. The Shroud is put on display only a few times a century.

200 meters from the Cathedral is the Church of St. Dominic (Chiesa di San Domenico), built in the 14th-15th centuries. This is the only temple in the city made in the Gothic style. Inside the church, noteworthy are the Thanksgiving Chapel and frescoes by an unknown artist from the 14th century.

Then it is recommended to see one of the symbols of Turin - the Mole Antonelliana tower, which is located only 0.5 km from the Duomo. It is noteworthy that this particular beauty can be seen from all areas of the city. Nowadays the National Museum of Cinematography (Museo Nazionale del Cinema) operates inside.

Also, in the immediate vicinity of the Cathedral, you will find the historic palace gates, which serve as evidence of the past of the ancient city, which was founded in 28 BC. e. by the Romans and named "Augusta Taurinorum". It is important not to confuse the periods of history of these gates. Only a wall made of cement and stones, which connects the two towers, dates back to the era of the ancient Romans. The 16-corner towers themselves were erected in the 13th-14th centuries. There are many legends associated with the palace gates. According to legend, Pontius Pilate was kept in one of them, in the prison at the Main Gate.

Be sure to see one of the most beautiful places in Turin - Piazza San Carlo, also located in the “heart” of the historical center (1.5 km from Castle Square). It is simply huge: the length is 168 m and the width is 76 m. In 1838, a monument to the Duke of Savoy Emmanuel Philibert on horseback was erected here (meaning the battle with the French at Saint-Quentin in 1557). Residents of the city nicknamed the monument the “bronze horse” (Caval ëd Brons in dialect). The square has attracted representatives of the intelligentsia at any time. On the square you can appreciate the interior of the Caffè San Carlo, Turin (Caffè Torino). And in the Neuv CavaldBrons establishment there is a stone staircase leading to the top floor, and from there there is a magnificent view of the square.

My trip to Italy with a stop in the city of Turin for 1 day. Main attractions and interesting places. How to get to the city and where to find accommodation.

I’ll start right away with the general impression - this is a large industrial city with a fully automatic metro; it’s easy for a tourist to get lost here. Below I’ll tell you what we managed to see and where we couldn’t get to in this huge city, but for now, a little technical information.

What to see in Turin in 1 day

Arriving in Turin, we first went to (+) rented through AirBnB in order to get rid of our backpacks and walk around the city lightly, because... They knew that they would have to climb the mountain in the very heat. We booked a room not in the center, but closer to the Dora GTT railway station, so that it would be easier and cheaper to get to the airport.

The first thing that surprised me in Turin while driving to the apartment was the fully automated metro without drivers. If in Paris this is a whole attraction for tourists, then here it is just commonplace. Everything looks quite technologically advanced - there is no access to the rails, everything is closed, the doors open on their own as soon as a train car stops in front of them. It is almost impossible to sneak into the subway as a hare; the turnstiles at the entrance are massive doors that open only after you feed them a ticket.

Medieval Castle

Having returned from the apartment, we began exploring Turin with Medieval village and fortress. This is at the very bottom of the map of our walking route around the city.

Villa della Regina

Here is Villa della Regina itself. The villa was a little disappointing, because... it is in disrepair, especially the fountain. To see this, you had to walk uphill and spend more than an hour on the way there and back. It’s better to go here by public transport and not repeat my feat.

But what was worth going to this villa for was the view of the city of Turin. The spire that is visible in the photo is Mole Antonelliana Tower.

Historical center of Turin

Going down the mountain is already quite easy. Just 10-15 minutes and we already cross another bridge and find ourselves in the historical part of the city.

In the historical part it is worth walking from square to square. There are a lot of them here, and the main attractions of Turin are concentrated in the squares. For example, in one square and even in one photo there are 3 attractions at once

The squares are connected by large streets that are very reminiscent of .

On the square San Carlo there are two very similar cathedrals Church of St. Charles And Church of St. Christina which are located opposite each other.

Turin Cathedral

But the main historical value of the city is the Cathedral of Turin, where the Shroud of Jesus is kept. This most likely attracts the main tourists to the city, but I learned about the shroud only after tickets to this city were purchased. The cathedral was unfortunately closed, perhaps due to restoration.

There are a few shopping galleries in Turin, very beautiful.

We move towards the railway station and explore the last places in Turin.
