Ivrea: Italy’s hidden gem near Turin

Only about an hour from Turin—easy to reach by train or car—it’s a small town with a big story. Stroll through its cobbled streets, climb up to the medieval castle for sweeping views.
Don’t miss the vibrant Battle of the Oranges in February — a unique carnival that only exists here!

📸Here’s my list of must-see places in Ivrea:
1. Castle Sabaudo – a 14th-century fortress offering panoramic views of the town.
2. Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta – beautiful Romanesque architecture with Baroque touches.
3. Ponte Vecchio – the old bridge with postcard-perfect views of the Dora Baltea River
4.Parco della Polveriera – a peaceful park nearby, perfect for walks
