Museum of Criminal Anthropology
Visit the Museum of Criminal Anthropology. Cesare Lombroso believed criminality was inherited and tied to physical features. Explore the exhibits that reflect these controversial 19th-century theories. The museum is quiet in the late afternoon, making it a good time to absorb the history without crowds.

Head to the Mole Antonelliana. It is a 39-minute walk from the anchor, but you can take the elevator up the 167.5-metre tower. Built in 1888, this landmark was originally intended as a synagogue. The view from the top offers a panoramic look at Turin as the golden light begins to fade.
Local tip
The museum is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00. The walk to the Mole is long, so wear comfortable shoes or check the route for public transport options if you prefer not to walk the full distance.
