Torino - Antica Tettoia dell'Orologio di Porta Palazzo
Turin is the capital of Piedmont and was the first Italian capital from 1861 to 1865. The population of the city is about 850.000 while the population of the metropolitan area is estimated at 2.2 million.
In the first century BC the Romans founded "Augusta Taurinorum". Turin reached about 5,000 inhabitants at the time, all living inside the high city walls. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the town was conquered by the Ostrogoths and later by the Lombards whose territory in 773 fell into the hands of the Franks under Charlemagne. After the marriage of Adelaide of Susa with Humbert Biancamano's son Otto, the family of the Counts of Savoy gained control. The title of count was held by the Bishop as count of Turin. At the end of the 13th century, when it was annexed to the Duchy of Savoy, the city already had 20,000 inhabitants. Many of the gardens and palaces were built in the 15th century when the city was redesigned. The University of Turin was also founded during this period.
Opposite the modern "Mercato Centrale" stands the ancient hall which now functions as the "Antica Tettoia dell'Orologio di Porta Palazzo" which translates to "Ancient Shed of the Clock of Porta Palazzo". Vegetables and groceries are also available here, but there are also a few restaurants that stay open late.
