Turin sits along the Po River with hills rising on the horizon. The city combines Roman remains, baroque palaces, neoclassical churches and 20th-century buildings. Wide streets cross the center, arcades provide shade and shops line the sidewalks. Parks stretch along the riverbanks while basilicas and viewpoints occupy the hills above. The Mole Antonelliana rises above the rooftops and now houses a museum. Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Castello are large open squares lined with cafés and historic facades. Valentino Park follows the river with paths, gardens and Castello del Valentino. The Palatine Towers show Roman walls, while Palazzo Madama blends medieval and baroque elements. The Royal Theatre and the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista stand near the narrow lanes of the Quadrilatero Romano, where markets and small shops fill the streets. Via Roma connects shopping districts to Porta Nuova railway station. Mercato di Porta Palazzo is a large market with stalls full of food and everyday goods.
