PALAZZO DAL POZZO DELLA CISTERNA

The prestigious historic building in Via Maria Vittoria 12, which for decades was the historic headquarters of the Province of Turin, now the Metropolitan City, is a palace to be admired. From the Scalone d’onore (Staircase of Honour) to the Quadreria (Picture Gallery), from the Sala dei Tondi De Ferrari to the Sala Giunta (Council Chamber), from the Studio del Duca (today the President’s Studio) to the precious Anticamera Gialla (Yellow Antechamber) and the splendid garden.

The visits, which take place with a minimum of 10 participants, start from the entrance hall and the courtyard, then wind their way through the Historical Library and the various rooms on the first floor that make up the noble part of the Palazzo. The tour lasts about an hour. Each visit will be accompanied and enlivened by the performances of the historical groups listed in the Metropolitan City’s register.

The Palace can be visited, again by appointment: Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; for individuals, again by appointment, one Saturday a month, where two groups are scheduled: one at 10 a.m. and one at 11 a.m.
