Traveler reviews
Christian
★★★★★2 years agoThis park has a live spring fountain where you can fill your water bottles👍 Very nice and simple park. If it’s your first time in Turin I definitely recommend at least walking through this park. Even though it’s in the middle of trafficked road it feels kind of secluded. Tbh I googled a little bit about the guy on the statue and I have no idea what he did that was so great deserving of a statue, might have been some cabal influence. But still, cool aesthetic of both him and the fountain.
Damjan Sano
★★★★★4 years agoVery nice and beautiful park (could have been more grass instead of pebbles. Beautiful fountain dominates with the park’s landscape. Even though you will be surrounded with the daily traffic and cars honking, the sound of water enthusiastically running out of fountain will give you much needed break from going around town.
