Centro, Turin — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Centro is a district recorded under Turin, in Piemonte, though it sits well out from the other named quarters of that city.
About Centro
Where to stay in Centro
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Distance is the fact that matters here. Falchera, the closest of Turin's other named quarters, is more than a dozen kilometres from Centro, so a room here is not a room in the middle of the city despite the name. A commute is unavoidable. Anyone whose days are set in Turin proper will spend them travelling in and out, while Barriera di Lanzo lies nearer to Centro than any part of central Turin.
About Centro
What are the main landmarks in Centro?
Turin holds the sights; Centro holds none. No church, museum or square is recorded for the district, and the nearest named quarters, Falchera and Barriera di Lanzo, are themselves a long way from the streets a visitor would want. Sightseeing means going in.
Piemonte carries the wider list, and Italy the frame beyond that, but nothing on either list is filed under Centro itself.
What is the history of Centro?
Nothing dates the quarter. Centro carries no founding year, no second name and no landmark in the record, which leaves Turin's own chronology as the only timeline that reaches it. The city sits in Piemonte, and Piemonte in Italy, so the administrative line above Centro is clear even where its own is blank.
Where is Centro?
Centro lies a long way out from Turin's other named quarters: Falchera, Barriera di Lanzo and Borgo Vittoria are nearest, each a dozen kilometres off or more.
