Discover Ciriè: History and Culture

Ciriè showcases history and regional culture in very different forms. Historic buildings, festivals, theatre and Piedmontese products create a varied picture of the city. If you are planning a holiday apartment in Ciriè, you can shape your days around these different interests: one day focusing on architectural history, then on regional traditions or cultural events.

Churches, palaces and traces of history

The Chiesa San Martino di Liramo was built in the Romanesque style at the beginning of the 11th century and later expanded with additional side aisles. The side aisles mark a later extension of the original building. You encounter a different historical era at Palazzo D’Oria, a historic palace dating from the 16th century. The museum tour in Palazzo D’Oria includes the Quadreria dei Marchesi D’Oria. Those comparing architectural history will find a Romanesque church and a 16th-century palace in Ciriè.

With the creation of the Borgo di Ciriè, the Duomo San Giovanni became the town’s most important parish in the 14th century. The tombs of the D’Oria family are located in a chapel in the nearby Duomo San Giovanni. In addition to its role as a parish, the Duomo San Giovanni therefore also has a connection to the D’Oria family, which is associated with Palazzo D’Oria.

Villa Remmert was built in the Liberty style at the end of the 19th century. At the time of its construction, Villa Remmert had an English landscape garden and an agricultural outbuilding. The villa thus combines the Liberty style with an English landscape garden and an agricultural outbuilding. The Torre di San Rocco is a testament to an ancient past and the symbol of the Borgo di San Rocco.
