Porta Palazzo Food Market

 

In operation since 1835, Porta Palazzo food market has always been a beloved spot for locals. Over the last years, this picturesque market has become a popular attractions for visitors.

The stalls are mounted very early in the morning every day of the week except Sunday. 

In fact, everything can be found here: flowers, clothing, shoes, household products, etc., basic and reasonable items, but for food, it is a great place due to the great variety and the freshness of the goods on offer.

Saturday is definitely the busiest day: besides the locals many French visitors bustle along the market, since the French border is only one hour drive from Turin.
