Piazza San Carlo, which splits Via Roma in two, is definitely one of the grandest and most stunning places in Turin. It was built during the middle of the 17th century and designed by the architect Di Castellamonte. Its two longest sides are surrounded by splendid porched buildings, while its most distinguishing features are the twin churches of Santa Cristina (on the left) and San Carlo, (on the right).In the centre stands the equestrian statue dedicated to the duke Edmondo Filiberto. He is depicted brandishing his sword after the battle of Saint Quentin, symbolising the end of the wars and the beginning of the reconstruction. Another interesting feature is a cannon ball embedded in the wall of one of the buildings: it is visible but difficult to identify.
