Palazzo Cavour, Baroque palace in Turin, Italy.
Palazzo Cavour is a baroque palace in Turin, standing at the corner where Via Lagrange meets Via Cavour. The building has two separate inner courtyards and interior rooms decorated with frescoes and stucco work.
The architect Gian Giacomo Plantery designed and finished the palace in 1729 as an aristocratic residence in Turin. A later addition extended the building with a new wing, changing its overall layout.
The palace is associated with Count Camillo Cavour, a statesman who played a central role in the unification of Italy in the 19th century. Visitors today can walk through the same rooms where political conversations once shaped the future of a country.
The palace is not permanently open to the public and typically welcomes visitors only during exhibitions or special events. It is worth checking in advance whether a visit is possible before making the trip.
One of the two courtyards was originally designed to hold stables and carriages, kept well apart from the formal reception courtyard. This division shows how the working life of a noble household was kept hidden from its ceremonial side.
