About the Venues

Due to the high profile of JURIX 2025 and the richness of its program, encompassing a wide array of paper presentations, workshops, and doctoral presentations, this year's conference will be held across two distinct venues. This dual-venue approach will provide ample space and resources to accommodate the anticipated high number of attendees and ensure a comfortable and productive experience for all participants.

Cavallerizza Reale

Aula Magna

The main conference will be held in the Aula Magna of the Cavallerizza Reale,. This venue, once the royal stables of Turin, is being transformed into a vibrant new space for the University of Turin, centered around a state-of-the-art Aula Magna (Great Hall). This historic complex, showing the marks of time and past uses, is undergoing a significant revitalization project focused on preservation and enhancement.

The new Hall, designed with cutting-edge technology, will be a space of both historical significance and modern functionality, resembling a high-tech theatre. Natural light will flood the hall through large existing windows and newly added skylights, highlighting the wooden trusses of the floating roof. These carefully placed windows, aligned with the façade's partitions, will create stunning visual effects.

Palazzo del Rettorato

Aula Magna & Aula Principi d'Acaja

Workshops presentations, as well as Doctoral Consortium presentations will be held in the Palazzo del Rettorato. Located in Turin's historic center, this building is the central hub of the University of Turin. Built between 1713 and 1720 under Vittorio Amedeo II, it was designed to reflect the university's status as a crucial state institution. The palace's architecture evolved from Michelangelo Garove's initial design through contributions by Antonio Ricca, Filippo Juvarra, Antonio Bertola, and sculptor Talucchi, who created the Via Po portal.

Currently, the Palazzo houses the university's primary institutional bodies, administrative offices, and Historical Archives. It also offers classrooms for humanities programs, with grand staircases leading to an upper floor containing spaces for scientific schools, a library, and the Aula Magna.
