Borgo Medievale
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon in spring or autumn offers soft light and fewer visitors. Avoid mid-summer midday when the ramparts get hot and crowded.
Budget tips
Park and outdoor village access is free; the castle interior and temporary exhibits may charge a small fee, so check the Comune di Torino site for current rates, free-entry days, and Torino+Piemonte Card coverage.

About
Raske fakta: Winding cobblestone streets, timber-framed houses and a small fortified courtyard give the feeling of walking through a lived-in medieval neighborhood. A faithful recreation from the 1884 exhibition uses hand-carved stone, leaded glass and visible timber joinery so you can spot techniques that vanished from urban centers centuries ago.
Høydepunkter: Step onto the battlements and you can smell damp moss and hear wind whisper through arrow slits, a sensory snapshot that feels cinematic rather than museumlike. A little-noticed treasure is a tiny painted rooster above the main gate, added during the 1884 project, so if you squint up you get a playful surprise most visitors miss.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven cobbles and narrow staircases.
- Photograph reflections from the river-side bridge at golden hour for dramatic shots.
- Arrive at opening to avoid tour groups and enjoy the courtyard mostly to yourself.
- If short on time, prioritize the castle courtyard, ramparts, and carved portals over small interior rooms.
