There is another Turin you cannot see. A parallel city hidden beneath the cobbled streets and illuminated squares, where secrets have remained frozen in time. Descend with us into the depths of memory on an underground journey that only a few have the privilege to experience.
You will enter places that witnessed the fear and hope of an entire city. A Second World War air-raid shelter will lead you into the darkness of a dramatic past, telling the story of nights when Turin held its breath beneath the bombs. Walking through these tunnels means feeling the weight of History almost physically.
An extraordinary and exclusive opening awaits you: the ancient underground chambers of the Church of the Consolata, normally closed to the public. Here, time seems to have stopped. Ancient tombstones emerge from the shadows, preserving for centuries the stories of those who rest here. Inscriptions, mysterious symbols, forgotten identities: every stone is a voice waiting to be heard. A place of solemn stillness, where history feels almost tangible.
The journey ends with one of the city’s most unexpected wonders: the vast ice houses beneath the Central Market. Built to withstand the scorching summers of an age before refrigeration, these remarkable underground spaces reveal the ingenuity and everyday life of a Turin that has disappeared — and yet still survives beneath our feet.
Created by the team behind the original Turin Underground tour, this itinerary is much more than a guided visit: it is an immersive journey into the invisible city, travelling back through time and through places that history may have forgotten — but never erased.
