Piedmont Map

In Turin and in Susa there are many interesting traces of the Roman Age. The religious Romanesque-Gothic architecture is remarkable, with splendid examples at the Abbey of Vezzolano, the Sacra di San Michele, the Abbey of Staffarda, St. Antonio di Ranverso and St. Andrea in Vercelli.

The Region of Piedmont covers a large Alpine arc which includes Maritime, Cotian, Graian, Pennine Alps and some of the Lepontine Alps. Places to visit are Lakes Orta and Maggiore. The capital of this region is Turin.

The source of the Po river is in Piedmont. This beautiful region is crossed by several Alpine streams flowing into the Po. Many Alpine lakes dot the region.

In Turin visitors should not miss the Royal Armory, one of the richest in Europe, and the Egyptian Museum, the second most important in the world (after the one in Cairo), with the precious remains of the ancient civilization which built the Pyramids. The Sabauda Gallery houses pictorial works of the Piedmontese, Dutch and Flemish and Tuscan schools.
