Is this where kings once walked? Right before us stands the Palazzo Reale, the Royal Palace of Turin. This grand palace wasn’t always gleaming. It began as a more humble Bishop’s Palace in the 16th century. The ambitious Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy started its transformation. He envisioned a grand palace fit for the increasingly powerful House of Savoy. The palace changed hands and styles over the years. It was shaped by influential women like Christine Marie of France, who brought in the Baroque genius Filippo Juvarra to leave his mark. And it saw the reigns of Dukes and Kings, with each adding their touch to its grandeur. Walk through its halls, and you’ll travel through time. Marvel at the lavish rooms, the intricate details, and the echoes of courtly life. The Palazzo Reale isn’t just a building. It’s a living testament to the legacy of the Savoy dynasty.
