Borgo medievale, Architectural ensemble in Parco del Valentino, Turin, Italy
The Borgo Medievale contains streets, squares, fountains, fortifications, decorations, frescoes, houses, and artisan workshops spread across its grounds.
The complex opened in 1884 during the Italian General Exhibition, following strict architectural guidelines to recreate medieval buildings from Piedmont and Aosta Valley.
The central Rocca structure functions as a fortified noble residence, displaying rooms that represent the daily life of 15th-century aristocrats.
The site maintains daily operations from 09:00 to 20:00, offering visitors access to metalwork demonstrations, paper making activities, and artifact purchases.
The medieval gardens, added in 1998, feature period-specific plants maintained through organic cultivation methods without modern agricultural techniques.
