The Royal Palace Guided Tour

A trip back in time in the life of the King of Italy, also known as the King of Sardinia before 1861. Stories and anecdotes of court life are awaiting you in the many different rooms, from the strict protocol to the menus for large official dinners, from the dances at the Palace to the halls of government. The Royal Palace of Turin, a World Heritage Site since 1997, is the flagship of the Savoy Residences, known as the seventeenth century Crown of Delights. It accounted, for the dynasty and the Kingdom, the symbol of their power and the place of the great court events: lunches, dances and diplomatic meetings that have marked both Italian and International history. The path winds through the different rooms to find decorations, furnishings, beautiful oriental porcelain, but also the use and the hidden meaning of small or large objects. The path includes the view Royal Armory, one of the richest collections of arms and armor in the world. The visit also includes the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, the masterpiece by Guarino Guarini.
