Carignano Palace (Palazzo Carignano)

Dominating Turin’s majestic Piazza Carignano, the ornate brick Palazzo Carignano stands as one of the city’s most important baroque palaces. Its main facade, featuring an undulating concave–convex–concave shape, is a unique architectural element in Italy, designed by architect Francesco Borromini for a civic rather than religious building. Visitors can admire the intricate details and grandeur of this 17th-century structure, which offers a glimpse into the opulence and artistic innovation of the baroque period.
