Parco della Tesoriera

About

Parco della Tesoriera is one of Turin’s most elegant historic gardens, wrapped around the 18th‑century Villa La Tesoriera in the city’s northern district. Created as a noble estate, the park blends formal design with a calm, neighbourhood atmosphere. Its tree‑lined avenues, expansive lawns, and seasonal flowerbeds make it a favourite retreat for walkers, families, and anyone seeking a quiet pause from urban life. The villa itself, with its Baroque façade and refined symmetry, adds a sense of timeless charm and today hosts the Civic Music Library, enriching the site with cultural life. The park is also known for its impressive plane trees, shaded corners, and small fountains that create a gentle, relaxing environment throughout the year. Though modest in scale compared to Turin’s larger parks, Parco della Tesoriera remains a cherished green space, appreciated for its harmony, accessibility, and historical character.
