Do-Nation - Tours:Turin - Magical Mystery Tour of Turin

Turin is without doubt the center of the dark side of Italy. Its piazza's have long been theaters and home to supernatural activities, ghost stories and unexplained phenomena. Turin is a city where things "go bump in the night"!!

The history of Turin is an ancient tapestry of spooky tales, dark legends, ghost stories, witchcraft, black magic and Satanic cults. Each night as the city is engulfed in darkness a spooky nail-biting atmosphere cloaks Turin in a shroud of mystery and intrigue.

Even if you have never believed in magic, come and discover the place considered by the guru's of occultism as one of the worlds capitals for both black and white magic.

At sunset you will drive past scary stone monsters, sinister architecture, unusual statues adorning ancient buildings and a small strange detail of the Duomo, which houses the famous Holy Shroud.

Watch, with your own eyes, as the mystery of Masonic enigmas and esoteric symbolism come to life through the Grotto of Alchemy, the 'Devil's Door', the spectral dragons and the veiled woman clutching the Holy Grail.
