Cavallerizza Reale, Royal stables complex in Turin, Italy
Cavallerizza Reale is a former royal stables complex featuring grand galleries, interior courtyards, and Baroque architectural details from the 1600s to 1700s. The sprawling structure contains multiple sections that once housed horses, training facilities, and living quarters for instructors and staff.
The building was commissioned by Carlo Emanuele II to serve as a center for Savoy family military operations. Over time it evolved into an academy where children of European nobility trained in horsemanship and courtly skills.
The complex sits within Turin's cultural quarter near other major institutions, creating a connected area for arts and learning. Walking through this district, you can experience how different buildings work together to form the city's intellectual center.
The site is centrally located and walkable from Turin's main train station. Visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the interior courtyards and the play of light across the Baroque facades.
A significant fire in 2019 damaged a large section of the roof, triggering extensive restoration work. The site is now recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing, marking its importance to global cultural preservation.
