Royal Palaces of Savoy

The Royal Palaces of Savoy are historic residences built by the House of Savoy, a royal family that ruled parts of Italy and France. These grand buildings, like the Palaces of Turin and Venaria Reale, served as royal courts, administrative centers, and symbols of power. They showcase impressive architecture, art collections, and lush gardens, reflecting the wealth and influence of the Savoy dynasty from the Renaissance through to the 19th century. Today, many are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, open to visitors who want to experience their historical significance and beautiful design.
