Quadrilatero Romano
A historic district that preserves the grid street plan of ancient Rome, lined with small squares, artisan shops and bars. It is a hot spot for aperitivo and nightlife.
The Quadrilatero Romano keeps the grid street layout of the ancient Roman city of Augusta Taurinorum. Its lanes are narrow and its squares small. The district fell into decline at one point, but after its revival in the 1990s it became one of Turin’s most atmospheric neighborhoods. It is home to traditional small restaurants, wine bars, artisan workshops and design boutiques, as well as historic sites such as the Church of San Domenico and the Santuario della Consolata. In the evening, locals enjoy aperitivo around Piazza Emanuele Filiberto. It is about a 5-minute walk northwest of Piazza Castello.
