The Arcade - I Portici - 历史的拱廊

One of the characteristic of Turin is its arcade ( portici ) . A total of 18 km long, of which 12.5 km is continuous and connected. The arcades spread mainly in the town center, some are well maintained and beautifully decorated, other are less glamous and shown sign of aged, but nevertheless equally charming.

Paved with different styles, such as the gray stone of via Po, the marble of via Roma, the Turin arcades are an all in one expression of urban, architectural, aesthetic and socio-economic.


Via Roma


One of the more famous arcade would be the one along via Po, starting from piazza Castello up to piazza Vittorio.  

In 1720, under the reign of Vittorio Amedeo II of Savoy, there were some alterations to the buildings that led to the addition of the arcades that characterize it, and was named "via Po".

It is fun to take note that the arcade on one side of via Po is covered even for the parts crossing the small street, and the other side of the road isn't. The terraces covering the crossing were built by the king Vittorio Emanuele I of Savoy, it was meant for his walk and for the sake of not getting wet in case it rains.
