Residences of the Royal House of Savoy, UNESCO World Heritage architectural ensemble in Piedmont, Italy.
The Royal House of Savoy residences include fourteen palaces, castles, and hunting lodges spread across the Piedmont region, demonstrating architectural excellence and royal design.
In 1562, Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy relocated the capital to Turin and initiated construction projects that transformed the region into a network of royal residences.
The residences currently house museums, exhibitions, and art collections that showcase the Italian royal heritage through furniture, paintings, armor, and decorative arts.
Turin provides direct access to multiple residences, with the Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama opening Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
The Chapel of the Holy Shroud, connected to the Palazzo Reale, contains the preserved cloth believed to have wrapped Jesus Christ after crucifixion.
