Castello del Drosso
Castello del Drosso is a small but evocative historic residence in the southern outskirts of Turin, a reminder of the city’s rural past and its network of ancient estates. Originally built as a fortified farmhouse, it later evolved into a noble country villa, blending defensive elements with the elegance typical of Piedmontese architecture. Surrounded by what were once agricultural lands, the castle now stands within an urbanised area, creating a striking contrast between its centuries‑old structure and the modern neighbourhood around it. Although not regularly open to visitors, its tower, courtyard, and surviving decorative features offer a glimpse into the life of the region’s former landowners. Castello del Drosso remains a quiet yet meaningful landmark, preserving a fragment of Turin’s layered history and cultural identity.
Turin ItalyCastello del Drosso is located at Strada del Drosso, 10135 Turin, Italy, in the Mirafiori Sud district on the southern outskirts of the city. This semi-abandoned 19th-century noble residence sits amid green fields near the Turin bypass road (Tangenziale Sud), reachable by bus stops like Drosso West and Borgaretto No.18, about 10 km from the historic centre. The surrounding industrial-residential area features the expansive Parco Colonnetti for walks, local trattorias along Via Guido Reni, and proximity to Fiat Mirafiori plant landmarks, with Parco del Valentino and Lingotto district just north across the river.
