Why go
The square was laid out in the 1860s as one of Turin's grand planned spaces. At its centre, the Frejus monument turns the railway tunnel project into a dramatic pile of stone and figures. Step back to see how the open square, monument and straight line of Corso Francia work together.
What to look for
- The Frejus tunnel monument in the open centre of the square.
- The long sightline west along Corso Francia.
- The planned square's surrounding architectural frame.
Useful to know
- Cross to a wider edge of the square to take in the monument and boulevard together.
- Continue west toward the Liberty buildings of Cit Turin for a natural follow-on walk.
