This self-guided audio tour lets you explore Turin’s grand Piazza Castello at your own pace using the VoiceMap mobile app. You’ll begin near the castle-like fortifications of Palazzo Madama and take a lively walk around the square while listening to a local tour guide who shares a passion for the city’s history, culture and food.
As you move through the piazza, you’ll learn about the origins of the name Turin and why the city has a reputation as a centre for both white and black magic. You’ll hear the unusual story of the Royal Church of Saint Lawrence and how it came to contain two churches inside one building.
