Toya palace of Turin ancient times

#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!
