The centre of power

The hub of the Court and of political power, the Royal Palace, and the surrounding buildings, formed the command centre and the main place for representing all the majesty of the House of Savoy.

 

 

 

Over the centuries, the successive works for renovation commissioned in the 1700s by Juvarra and Alfieri and in the 1800s by Palagi, made the Royal Palace into a unique example of how different architectural styles can live in harmony. The elegance of the 17^th century facade and the splendour of its numerous richly furnished rooms, reflect the luxurious life at the Court and reveal the centuries of history of the House of Savoy.

The presence of the Savoys in the Palace can be seen all the way from Emmanuel Philibert to the Duke of Savoy and through to Humbert II who commissioned the current furnishing of the apartment of the Princes of Piedmont in the 1920s.
