Torino Italy 23/09/2011: Onwards to the Central Market

So thus our adventure continues and this time we're walking towards the central market! The issue that you'll notice here is that I'm not going to be able to label these pictures because I don't know the name of what they are!
Here's a nice park. The museum of natural history is here. It's to the left off screen tho.
Some of the side street shots. I really like the cobblestone roads!
Here's a random church that I noticed and took a picture of.
This is the square whose name I don't know. However, I can tell you that it houses the Statue of Emanuele Filiberto on a horse (he was the prince of the Piedmont region).
More shots of the square. Since it's the 150th anniversary of Italy (Torino was the first capital), there's been really neat events every week!
Here's a closeup shot of the statue.
This is a shot of an interior promenade.
Here's another unknown building.
The really big building in the back (white) is the Royal House of Savoy
Close up shot of the Royal House of Savoy. It housed all the old Italian kings. Like the British Buckingham palace. There are a few of them scattered around.
Shots of the inner square.
More inner square shots
Here's an exit.
This was an ancient Roman mosaic that was found during excavation. It has been preserved where it was originally discovered.
Here a fence separating you and some ancient ruins.
Here's the ruins, however, I don't know the background of them.
