Medieval Village

The village is in fact more like a monumental archaeological site and was built in the Valentino park as a pavilion of the International Exhibition which took place in Turin from April to November of 1884.

At the end of the International it became a museum in 1942.
 

 

It is a fairly faithful reproduction of a typical late medieval village in which they reconstructed streets, houses, churches, squares, fountains and decorations of that time surrounded by walls and fortifications, and surmounted by a fortress. It is accessed through a tower-gate.
