Archaeological Park

The Palatine Gate (Italian: Porta Palatina or Porte Palatine; Piedmontese: Tor Roman-e) is a Roman Age city gate located in Turin, Italy. The gate provided access through the city walls of Julia Augusta Taurinorum (modern Turin) from the North side and, as a result, it constituted the Porta Principalis Dextra (Right-Side Main Gate) of the old town. 
 

The Palatine Gate represents the primary archaeological evidence of the city's Roman phase, and is one of the best preserved 1st-century BC Roman gateways in the world. Together with the ancient theatre's remains, located a short distance away, it is part of the so-called Archaeological Park, opened in 2006.


The park is now became mainly a dog park where people bring their dogs here to play and to socialise with other dogs.
There is a small higher ground at the end of the park and from there you can have a view of the cathedral, its bell tower and the museum Galleria Sabauda.

Location : Parco Archeologico
