Royal Residences of Turin and of the Piedmont, Italy

A romantic triumph of elegance

With a history going back seven centuries, involving dukes, princes and kings, the Castle of Agliè, formerly belonging to the marquises of San Martino, has an ancient and noble past, as can be seen by the variety of decor that still features in apartments and gardens.

Surrounded by a park with ancient trees and vast glasshouses, the castle has over 300 rooms, containing a legacy of furniture and precious, eclectic collections ranging from paintings to archaeological finds and through to surprising ornithological and oriental collections. The frescoed Ballroom and the series of perfectly preserved period rooms make this castle a triumph of elegance and splendour.

The artistic and cultural impression left by Marie Christine of Bourbon, wife of the king of Sardinia, Charles Felix, can be seen in the fittings of main rooms, such as the "Sala Tuscolana" with its collection of archaeological finds.
