Description
The "Quadrilatero Romano" is loctaed in the heart of Turin and is one of the city's oldest and most charming areas. It was originally the castrum of ancient Augusta Taurinorum (28 BC), and it still preserves the grid layout of its orthogonal streets, significant remains of the defensive walls, and the Porta Palatina, the main archaeological testimony of the Roman era. The neighborhood is characterized by its Baroque buildings, cobblestone streets, and historic squares such as Piazza della Consolata, home to the sanctuary known by the same name-an incredible Baroque masterpiece by Guarino Guarini and Filippo Juvarra. The vibrant interaction between antique and modern that defines the soul and liveliness of the neighborhood is well represented by the piercing installation Baci Urbani ("Urban Kisses"), a symbolic act of rebellion displayed on an 18th-century building in Piazzetta Corpus Domini. After a redevelopment project that began in the 1970s, the Quadrilatero Romano became a popular destination: in addition to countless shopping opportunities along the nearby pedestrian Via Garibaldi, farmer's markets and artisanal fairs fill its squares and courtyards on weekends. Its cobbeltone streets and squares offer a big variety of restaurants and cafés. A must-do experience is a visit to the famous Bicerin-a historic café (est. 1794) located in the picturesque Piazza della Consolata-where you can enjoy the signature hot drink made with chocolate, coffee, and milk cream.
