They say that the capital of Piedmont is the city of magic. On this tour of the mysteries and legends of Turin, we'll tell you stories of mysticism and magic as we explore the old town.
Tour Details
Along with Lyon and Prague, Turin forms part of the so-called European triangle of black and white magic. Experts in esotericism place the darkest heart of this trio at Piazza Statuto.
At your chosen time, we'll meet at Piazza Statuto to begin uncovering the most unsettling mysteries and legends of Esoteric Turin. Don't worry, the Satanic and black magic rituals once practiced in the Piedmontese capital have long since ceased. Although on certain nights... perhaps the theatrical performance included in this tour will give us a glimpse of how these dark techniques were carried out.
According to some legends, Piazza Statuto is home to the very Gates of Hell. There are several skeptics who try to deny it, or conceal it. What we can say with certainty is that the square is home to the monument to the Frejus Tunnel. At the very top of this memorial to the workers who died building it, you'll clearly spot the sculpture of Lucifer himself. A coincidence? If you still believe in those...
Not far from here, the gardens of Piazza Castello await, the setting for more stories. Turin is also considered the city of alchemists. As we reveal who these figures were, we'll stop to examine certain sculptures: the famous angels of Turin. Could these statues be hiding a secret message? For now, all we can tell you is that the answer is a resounding yes.
After 2.5 hours, we'll wrap up this mysteries and legends tour of Turin in front of the church of Gran Madre di Dio. Next to this temple, we'll take in some very special sculptures. One of them, according to certain writings, conceals clues to the whereabouts of the Holy Grail itself. Still believe in coincidences? Finally, from the area around the church, we'll take a bus back to the starting point.
