Borgo Medievale, a prominent attraction in Turin, made its debut in 1884 during the Italian General Exhibition. It offers a meticulously recreated architectural and decorative representation of the late Middle Ages, meticulously following philological standards.
Situated in a sprawling park on the picturesque banks of the Po River, Borgo Medievale is a year-round hub of activity. Within its confines, you'll discover authentic residences and artisan workshops where you can observe the crafting of metals and paper and acquire an array of artifacts. The site is further adorned with streets, squares, fountains, fortifications, decorations, and frescoes. The mansion's chambers are opulently appointed, featuring furnishings and fabrics that transport you to the lavish tastes of the 15th-century Piedmont nobility.
The medieval gardens, established in 1998, showcase period-appropriate flora alongside native species. Over time, Borgo Medievale has transformed into a unique museum and tourist destination, catering to a diverse spectrum of interests, including scholarly pursuits, popular history, entertainment, and tourism. Additionally, a variety of events are organized to engage a wide range of visitors.
