Underground and magic Turin: tour

The following two itineraries will take you on the discovery of an unusual and suggestive Turin, the first one snakes through the underground tunnels of the city, among history and legends for about 3 hours, while the second itinerary is even more fascinating and intriguing because it is full of occult, arcane and mysterious masonic symbols among the streets and monuments of the city.

The two visits begin only after the sun has given way to the night, and the city is lit by soft lighting that lends an even more mysterious feeling to the tour, which winds through the passageways of the city of Turin.

Underground Turin

Leaving from Piazza Vittorio at 8.30 pm you will discover ancient pages of history and events that date back to 1706, when a military massacre occurred 14 m below ground. You will walk through the working class and aristocratic districts of the city from Palazzo Paesana, where history is tainted by a “dark” feeling with tunnels that date back to the '700s and Second World War air-raid shelters, and you will reach the underground car park in Piazza Filiberto, that will lead you to the ice cellars, which were once used to store products that were sold at the market on the “upper floor”.

Magic Turin

After visiting Turin underground, another unmissable tour, which lasts about 2 hours, will be waiting for you in the most fascinating and esoteric places of the city, which are often overlooked.

This tour snakes around the suggestive legends of a Turin that is considered inauspicious, suspended between white and black magic, which takes us back to Roman times when the city was considered unlucky because the sun set on it, because it housed a large cemetery, and due to many other legends as well. As Turin lies between two Rivers, the Po and the Dora, and is set at the apex of two triangles, the ones of white and black magic, the city boasts a centuries-old mysterious tradition.

The tour starts in Piazza Statuto, where the gates to hell stand, immersing tourists in the discovery of a secret and unsettling city, starting from the Church of the Misericordia, where the remains of the executed are preserved.

You will then reach Piazza Solferino, where the Angelica Fountain with its many masonic symbols is considered a gateway to hell.

Close by lies Piazza Castello considered the fulcrum of white magic, where, in the gates of the Royal Palace, the forces of good are concentrated, symbolising the separation between the Sacred Turin and the Infernal.
