Piazza Carlo Alberto, Historical square in central Turin, Italy
The square features a monumental equestrian statue of Carlo Alberto facing Palazzo Carignano, with four soldiers and female figures at its base.
Between 1842 and 1859, the area transformed from defensive walls into a public square, named after King Carlo Alberto of Sardinia.
The National Library of Turin, located on the eastern side, contains printed works from Piedmont dating back to 1459.
The square connects Via Cesare Battisti with Via Principe Amedeo and hosts monthly vintage markets except during July and August.
Friedrich Nietzsche resided in a third-floor apartment overlooking the square from 1888 to 1889, writing The Antichrist and other works.
