Evening By The Borgo Medievale

Take a walk on the opposite of the river Po, toward Moncalieri, on the other side of the river there is the Valentino park with the Valentino Castle and the Borgo Medievale ( Medieval Village ).

The Borgo Medievale was opened in 1884 during the Italian General Exhibition. It offers a reconstruction of late medieval buildings and decorations carried out on the basis of strict philological criteria.

The inspiration of the Medieval Village came from over 40 sites and retraced the artistic and architectural features of 15th century buildings throughout Piedmont and Aosta Valley.

The village includes streets, squares, fountians, fortifications, decoration and frescoes, real houses and artisan workshops.

The Rocca or fortress is a fortified aristocratic residence whose rooms are richly decorated with furnitures, accessaries and fabrics that reflect the lifestyle of the nobility in the 15th century Piedmont.
