Palazzo di Città, Baroque palace in central Turin, Italy.
The Palazzo di Città is a baroque palace in central Turin built from pale stone across three stories. Its facade features symmetrical windows, robust stone columns, and detailed ornaments concentrated toward the upper sections.
The palace was designed by Francesco Lanfranchi in the late 1600s when Turin became the capital of the Duchy of Savoy. This construction reflected the city's growing importance as a major center in northern Italy.
The building continues to serve as Turin's city hall, housing municipal offices and ceremonial rooms filled with period furnishings and artworks. You can observe how these spaces are arranged and how the palace functions in the city's daily life.
The palace sits in downtown Turin and is easily reached on foot with clear signs from nearby streets. Access to certain rooms may vary depending on city events or administrative activities taking place inside.
During a 1995 renovation of the square in front of the palace, workers discovered ancient Roman pavement stones beneath the surface. These remains show that the modern city was built directly on top of its Roman origins.
