Parco Dora

Parco Dora is one of Turin's largest and most striking urban parks, built on a former industrial zone covering over 450,000 square metres. Rather than erasing its past, the park incorporates remnants of factories and steelworks into its design, creating a unique post-industrial landscape. Massive steel pillars, industrial structures, and open green spaces coexist with sports facilities, walkways, and gardens. The park hosts cultural and sporting events, including major music festivals like Kappa FuturFestival. Street art further enhances its identity, turning Parco Dora into a powerful example of urban regeneration where industrial heritage and contemporary public space merge.
