  • Nice piazza with some impressive architecture nearby. Palazzo Madamma is a nice building to look at, with its two sides built in different styles. Royal palace nearby.

  • Beautiful please spending time with family and friend
  • It's an amazing square with three different palaces built in three different historical periods. The royal palace and the Madama palace are museums which you can visit. There is also the tourist info center their which you can buy tickets for all the Piedmont museums and probably even public Transportation.
