Piazza San Carlo Review

It’s a huge square or what they call Piazza, you can spend a day here, all the attractions are within walking distance. There are many bars, restaurants, small supermarkets, and all the commercial shopping streets are connected. All bus terminals are not far from here so it is convenient. It is hot during the day so take precautions. The Tourism Bureau is near the entrance where you can ask about the cost of the tour guide. It is great to visit the city this way.

Piazza San Carlo is located in the middle of via Roma in Turin, Italy. The buildings around San Carlo Square form a magnificent urban complex. These Baroque buildings have earned the square a reputation - "the studio in Turin".

A very large square links the Palace of Turin and the Commercial Street, and straight along the Commercial Street is the railway station. On rest days, there will be a lot of people on both sides of the square and the commercial street performing arts. As an amateur, I think the standard is quite good. There are old choirs, young bands, artists who play with empty barrels, and soloists... They don't make you feel like a financially hungry marketer, but rather perform for pleasure. Holding a pile of coins to watch the show all the way, giving some support to your favorite show all the way, and you won't get tired of spending an afternoon strolling around.

Typical European style square, distinctive architectural features, strong cultural colors, recommended attractions.

The Baroque Square in Santa Carlo Square, in the middle of Rome Street, has earned the square a nickname "the studio of Turin". The churches of St. Christina and St. Carlo are located at the southern end of the square. Although the facade of St. Christina's Church shows the Baroque style, Yuvala designed the top decorative sculptures for it in the early 18th century, in fact both churches were built in the 1730s.
