Castle of Racconigi, Royal palace museum near Turin, Italy
The Castle of Racconigi stands with its grand towers, marble decorations, and four-story structure surrounded by an extensive landscape garden in Piedmont.
The fortress, dating from 1000, transformed into a residence in the late 17th century when Prince Carignano commissioned architect Guarino Guarini for renovations.
The gardens combine French formal design principles by André Le Nôtre with later additions of an English landscape park and botanical collections.
The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours through state apartments and royal family private chambers.
A Russian dacha sits within the park grounds, built specifically to commemorate Tsar Nicholas II's visit to the Piedmont region.
