Barriera di Milano

Barriera di Milano is a historic district on the northern edge of Turin, in the Piemonte region of north-western Italy, sitting close to the city centre along the Dora river plain. Long known as a working-class quarter, it mixes older residential blocks and courtyard buildings with workshops, small shops and a lively, multicultural street life. Its central location, relatively affordable housing stock and ongoing regeneration make it a practical choice for buyers and renters who want city living outside Turin's most expensive addresses.
