Things to see in Moncalieri

Moncalieri is a small town perched around a hill south east of Turin in Piedmont.

The town is crowned by a 12th-century castle, which was enlarged in the 15th century. It is part of a World Heritage Site, the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy.

The historic centre of Moncalieri develops around Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a few tens of metres south of the Royal Castle, on a hill approximately 50 m above the rest of the city. The square, the most important in Moncalieri, overlooks the churches of Santa Maria della Scala and San Francesco, the town hall and numerous medieval buildings. A short distance from the square is the Real Collegio Carlo Alberto.

The street that connects the station to the square is called Via S.

Castello di Moncalieri. The castle, which is part of the Savoy residences of Piedmont, is found in the upper part of Moncalieri. Whistle Museum (Museo dij Subièt). The museum houses a collection of approximately 1500 whistles made from the following materials: terracotta, metal, wood, cane, bone and plastic. View into the valley and surrounding area, Viale del Castello. Statue of Neptune (Saturnius), Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II. The elegantly designed statue takes up classic taste in an 18th-century key and goes well with the basin which welcomes the jet and seals the defined space of the porticoed buildings and dominated by the church of Santa Maria della Scala. Neptune is represented holding the trident in his hand, at his feet is a dolphin whose mouth gushes with a jet of water collected in the tub.
