Palazzo Reale, Torino
Palazzo Reale was the main residence of the House of Savoy in Turin from the 16th century until Italian unification in the 19th century, its plain exterior giving little hint of the lavish state rooms, armory, and gardens within. As part of the Savoy Residences, it holds UNESCO World Heritage status.
Inside, richly decorated rooms trace centuries of Savoy rule, including a notable armory collection and elaborately painted ceilings, while the Royal Gardens behind the palace, redesigned in the 19th century, offer a formal green space in the heart of the city.
It's directly connected to Turin's cathedral and the Museo Egizio nearby, making it a natural anchor for a walking day through the city's historic center.
