Piazza Vittorio Veneto is one of the largest squares in Europe, a vast rectangular space stretching 360 metres from Via Po to the bank of the Po river. Its uniform arcaded buildings create a dramatic perspectival corridor ending with views of the Gran Madre church and the green hills beyond.
Designed in the early 19th century as part of Turin's Napoleonic-era expansion toward the river. The uniform neoclassical facades were built between 1818 and 1830. The square has hosted major events including the 2006 Winter Olympics medal ceremonies.
