Known as the “living room of Turin”, this is the best place to get to know some of the city's most famous historic establishments, ideal for coffee or lunch. Formerly the Piazza was the Royal Square and marketplace and at its southern end still stand the “twin churches” of San Carlo and Santa Cristina (the façade of the latter was designed by Filippo Juvarra). The elegant baroque buildings with their wide porticoes which flank the Piazza's sides date back to the mid-seventeenth century. Considered one of the most beautiful squares in Europe, it is centred on the equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto returning victorious from the battle of San Quintino in 1557. In the local dialect the monument is called “'l caval 'd brons” (the bronze horse).
