Until after the unification of Italy, the capital was moved south from Turin to Florence (1865), and the palace became vacant. In the middle of the 20th century, it was changed to the palace museum and opened to the public.

#celebrateit Turin, the capital of the Italian region of Piedmont, is a beautiful city that offers a great mix of culture, attractions, and activities. Located in the northwest of the country, Turin is known for its spectacular architecture, incredible food, and fascinating history. One of the main reasons to visit Turin is to explore its impressive architecture. Its many Baroque and Rococo buildings, such as the Palazzo Madama, are some of the best-preserved in Italy. Turin is also home to some of the country's most iconic landmarks, such as the Mole Antonelliana, which is one of the tallest masonry structures in Europe. Other notable attractions include the Royal Palace of Turin, the National Museum of Cinema, and the Turin Cathedral.

Turin, the capital of medieval mysticism, still exudes a unique charm that attracts countless explorers in search of relics and the Holy Grail. At the Venaria Reale hunting lodge, 10 km from Turin, lies a rare masterpiece by a master. On the eve of our departure, we went to Venaria to visit the Great Gallery designed by Filippo Juvarra, a brilliant diamond in the crown of the Duke of Savoy. Venaria Reale is a small town with a population of about 35,000, and we arrived early at the main square to avoid missing the opening hours of the palace. Once inside, we found the best route: head straight for the State Hall and the Royal Conference Hall, and try to be the first to enter the magnificent Armeria in the Royal Palace of Turin, which we were lucky enough to do 40 minutes ahead of time. The palace dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries, and its name means "royal hunting." The museum team has put a lot of effort into it, and the gallery of the House of Savoy is breathtaking, although it is not certain whether it contains portraits of all the Dukes and Kings of Savoy since 1003, but each one is worth savoring. The museum is full of priceless tapestries and antique furniture, and the exhibition route is so exquisite that it is hard to miss any part of it. During the visit, my husband was attracted by a hall that had not yet been fully restored, which turned out to be the Rubens Music Hall. The exhibition is progressive, with each hall offering new surprises. The Grande Gallery is 80 meters long and 12 meters wide, with black and white marble floors that contrast with the light-colored walls and vaults, creating a sense of transparency and harmony. It once connected the rooms of the king and the heir to the throne, and now echoes with soft music. It is worth mentioning that the unparalleled lighting effect here comes from natural light, and the pleasant climate of Italy has made this ingenious design possible. The Royal Family Chapel of St. Hubert is also amazing, with no real dome, but the painter's superb skills create a realistic illusion with light and perspective. The palace was once a barracks for Napoleon's soldiers and was looted. A comprehensive reconstruction began in the second half of the 20th century, which took 30 years and reopened to visitors in 2007. Today, as a World Heritage Site, it is carefully protected by UNESCO. The Venaria Reale Palace in Turin awaits you to unveil its mysterious and charming veil and embark on an unforgettable royal exploration.

#ancienttown The Palace of Turin was included in the World Cultural Heritage List in December 1997. The architectural style of the palace is unique. Most of the palaces are made of bricks, and only a few facades are decorated with marble, which has a sense of solemnity. Built in the 17th century, the Turin Royal Palace has been designed and renovated by seven designers and artists. It fully integrates architectural styles of various periods, including Baroque and neoclassical styles. The architectural style in the palace is luxurious. The decoration of each room is set according to the hobbies of the dynasty at that time, fully demonstrating the design style characteristics of the architecture and interior of the Duke of Savoy period, such as: works of art collected by the royal family, exquisite tapestries and paintings, ingenious clocks and porcelain, beautiful furniture and gold Silverware is overwhelming. The gate of the palace is decorated with a gold-plated snake-haired Medusa head, which implies that it can resist the invaders of the palace. Inside the palace is a Baroque staircase, and oil paintings recording the events of the Savoy family are displayed on the walls on both sides. The Palace is also one of the museums with the richest collection of weapons in the world. It has a collection of many medieval weapons, most of which were made from the 16th to the 17th centuries, including a variety of swords, firearms, armor, etc. Some weapons are treasured by the Duke of Savoy, and others are weapons treasures from the East. Highly recommended!

#Tourism Turin is the fourth largest city in Italy. The "Royal Palaces of the House of Savoy" in this city are also famous as a World Heritage Site. - The city was once the capital of Italy, when Vittorio Emanuele II of the House of Savoy became the first king of the Kingdom of Italy. - Perhaps influenced by the French queens of the House of Savoy, the city has a refined and glamorous atmosphere reminiscent of Paris or Vienna. Despite this, there is a sense of melancholy in the city. In the final stages of World War II, the royal family quickly fled the country, abandoning the suffering people. After the war, the monarchy was abolished and Italy became a republic, and the Savages were expelled by referendum. - The dazzling Royal Armory. I wonder how strong the users of this decorated building must have been. - The chandeliers and even the tableware have a royal feel. - #TurinTrip

#2022Exhibition #OverseasTravel The Royal Palace of Turin was built by the previous ruler Savoia (Savoy Dynasty) and is located in the center of Turin☺️☺️. This palace and other palace buildings of the Savoia dynasty are included in the World Cultural Heritage. From the 16th to the early 19th century, this was the official residence of the Savoia royal family. Very impressive! After the unification of Italy, the capital was moved south from Turin to Florence (1865), and the palace remained vacant. In the mid-20th century, it was turned into a palace museum open to the public. The palace hall, with its fireplace, candlesticks and murals, is very elegant. The Sala del Consiglio was the conference hall of the royal palace at that time, and important documents were also issued here. As for the emperor's throne, the Sala del Trono, it is indeed very noble and glittering. The Armory Museum next to the Royal Palace is another highlight to visit. Armor and weapons from different eras are on display here. It turns out that the war horse also has customized armor, and the design is very careful. #星WRITERCHONGCHONG #ItalyTravel

#holidayvacation The Royal Palace of Turin is a historic palace of the House of Savoy in the city of Turin in Northern Italy. It was originally built in the 16th century and was later modernized by Christine Marie of France (1606–1663) in the 17th century, with designs by the Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra. The palace also includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, the latter of which was built to house the famous Shroud of Turin. In 1946, the building became the property of the state and was turned into a museum. In 1997, it was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list along with 13 other residences of the House of Savoy. Construction of the palace was ordered by the Regent Christina Maria in 1645.She wanted a new residence for the court after her son returned from the civil war. The chosen location was the previous Bishop's Palace, which had been built in the middle of the new capital of Savoy, Turin, during the reign of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy (1528–1580). Its advantages included an open and sunny position, in addition to being close to other buildings where the court met.[5] The Duke was able to monitor the two entrances of the city (the Palatine and the Pretoria gates) from the Bishop's Palace. The Bishop's Palace in Turin was later captured by the French in 1536 and served as a residence of the French Viceroys of Savoy, who were appointed by Francis I of France. Opposite the Bishop's Palace was the Palazzo Vecchio or the Palazzo di San Giovanni. This building, disparagingly known as Pasta con Tonno (English: Pasta with tuna) because of its architecture, was later replaced by the grand Ducal Palace. #merryxmas #holidayvacation#merryxmas
