Turin Guides

Torino the European capital of Baroque: many palaces and churches were built in this style during the kingdom of the Savoia. It isn't the typical Italian city, with red and yellow buildings: is a bit more French, so much that is also called "the little Paris"; wide boulevards with white buildings make the city center more similar to Paris. Around the city, a crown of churches and castles, some up on a hilltop, some lost in a park, provide plenty of impressive views. Turin also has an aristocratic atmosphere: the center is filled with posh 19th-century cafes, regal-like arcaded mansions, debonair glittering restaurants, and grand churches.
