The walls and the Porta Nuova demolition

With the walls demolition wanted by Napoleon at the beginning of the 19th century, the Porta Nuova of Castellamonte is also cancelled. The walls and the Porta were replaced by a big square bordered with tree-lined streets that continue until the extra-urban royal residences, Millefiori and Stupinigi.
