Palazzo Chiablese

Palazzo Chiablese is a wing of the Royal Palace of Turin featuring Baroque architecture with richly decorated rooms. The building connects to the main palace and forms part of the larger palace complex facing Piazza San Giovanni.

The palace began in the 17th century as a residence for Benedetto of Savoy, Duke of Chablais. It later became home to King Charles Felix of Sardinia, solidifying its importance within the royal family.

The rooms display furnishings and artworks that reflect how the Savoy family lived across different periods. Walking through them, you notice the personal objects and decoration choices that reveal daily life within the royal household.

Entry to the palace is available through group tours that must be arranged in advance. These guided visits provide access to the royal rooms with expert commentary on the spaces.

The palace suffered significant bomb damage during World War II, resulting in the permanent loss of many original furnishings and decorative elements. These losses remain visible today in the replacement and restored pieces throughout the rooms.
