Piazza San Carlo, Baroque square in central Turin, Italy
The rectangular plaza features continuous arcaded walkways along its sides, with two identical churches standing at its southern end facing north.
Carlo di Castellamonte designed and completed the square's architecture between 1642 and 1650 during Turin's expansion under the House of Savoy.
The bronze equestrian monument of Emmanuel Philibert, depicting the duke after the Battle of Saint-Quentin, marks the center of this social gathering space.
The pedestrian area contains an underground parking facility for 380 vehicles and connects directly to Via Roma's shopping district.
The Solaro del Borgo palace at number 183 houses the Philharmonic Academy, established in 1839, alongside the historic Circolo del Whist society.
