Roman and Medieval Turin

Romans chose this place to found a new city: Iulia Augusta Taurinorum. More than 2000 years have passed since then, yet the city still bears much evidence of a glorious past belonging to the Roman Empire.

The remains of the walls and theatre are historical testimonies that become even more fascinating with a visit to the Museum of Antiquities.

Turin still preserves almost intact medieval corners with the presence of imposing buildings characterised by the “cotto” decorations typical of Piedmontese medieval architecture.
