Borgo Medievale
A recreated medieval village and castle of Piedmont, built for the 1884 exhibition, with lifelike lanes, workshops and castle interiors.
The Medieval Village was an exhibit at the 1884 Italian General Exhibition. Its architects based it on real castles and houses in Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. It includes gates, a drawbridge, streets, workshops and a castle (Rocca), whose interior is decorated in 15th-century style. Entry to the village is free, while the castle charges admission (check on site). It is closed on Mondays. The village stands beside the Po inside Parco del Valentino and can be visited together with the park.
