Piazza San Carlo and Chiesa di San Carlo Borromeo

Piazza San Carlo and Chiesa di San Carlo Borromeo are must-visit attractions in the charming city of Turin, Italy. Piazza San Carlo is one of the largest, most beautiful squares in the city, with its two symmetrical Baroque churches, an equestrian statue of Emmanuel Philibert, and two majestic fountains. The Chiesa di San Carlo Borromeo, a late-Baroque Roman Catholic church built in the 17th century, stands in one corner with its octagonal dome topped by an ornate cupola. As you stroll through the square, you’ll be awestruck by its opulent architecture, adorned with complex sculptures, gorgeous frescoes and pink marble façade. Don't forget to head to the dark, hidden garden in the square, which is filled with railed boxwood trees and lined with cannons.
