The Turin Royal Palace, a world cultural heritage, is so dazzling with gold!
Let’s take a look at Turin, which looks pragmatic, but is luxurious and noble inside!
💗This is Palazzo Reali, the Royal Palace of Turin, which is so dazzling with gold! From the 16th to the early 19th century, this was the official residence of the Savoia royal family. Very impressive! Until after the unification of Italy, the capital was moved south from Turin to Florence (1865), and the palace became vacant. In the middle of the 20th century, it was changed to the palace museum and opened to the public. This palace and other palace buildings of the Savoia dynasty are included in the World Cultural Heritage.

Stepping into Royal Elegance: The Grandeur of Palazzo Reale
#traveldiaries
Palazzo Reale, the former residence of the House of Savoy, offers a glimpse into Italy’s royal past. The lavishly decorated rooms, with their grand chandeliers, gold-framed mirrors, and intricate frescoes, reflect the opulence of the time. A visit here feels like stepping into a period drama, as you wander through the King’s apartments, the majestic throne room, and the beautiful gardens. The Royal Armoury, one of Europe’s finest, showcases exquisite displays of historical weapons and armor. This palace isn’t just about admiring beautiful interiors; it’s a dive into centuries of Italian history. Set in the heart of Turin, the palace is also a gateway to nearby attractions, such as the Duomo and the Piazza Castello.

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!

The Royal Palace of Turin, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy and the capital of the country
#Tourism
Turin is the fourth largest city in Italy.
The "Royal Palaces of the House of Savoy" in this city are also famous as a World Heritage Site.
-
The city was once the capital of Italy, when Vittorio Emanuele II of the House of Savoy became the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.
-
Perhaps influenced by the French queens of the House of Savoy, the city has a refined and glamorous atmosphere reminiscent of Paris or Vienna.
Despite this, there is a sense of melancholy in the city.
In the final stages of World War II, the royal family quickly fled the country, abandoning the suffering people.
After the war, the monarchy was abolished and Italy became a republic, and the Savages were expelled by referendum.
-
The dazzling Royal Armory.
I wonder how strong the users of this decorated building must have been.
-
The chandeliers and even the tableware have a royal feel.

Extraordinary: the Royal Palace of Turin
#2022Exhibition #OverseasTravel
The Royal Palace of Turin was built by the previous ruler Savoia (Savoy Dynasty) and is located in the center of Turin☺️☺️. This palace and other palace buildings of the Savoia dynasty are included in the World Cultural Heritage.
From the 16th to the early 19th century, this was the official residence of the Savoia royal family. Very impressive! After the unification of Italy, the capital was moved south from Turin to Florence (1865), and the palace remained vacant. In the mid-20th century, it was turned into a palace museum open to the public.
The palace hall, with its fireplace, candlesticks and murals, is very elegant. The Sala del Consiglio was the conference hall of the royal palace at that time, and important documents were also issued here.
As for the emperor's throne, the Sala del Trono, it is indeed very noble and glittering.
The Armory Museum next to the Royal Palace is another highlight to visit. Armor and weapons from different eras are on display here. It turns out that the war horse also has customized armor, and the design is very careful.

#holidayvacation The Royal Palace of Turin is a historic palace of the House of Savoy in the city of Turin in Northern Italy. It was originally built in the 16th century and was later modernized by Christine Marie of France (1606–1663) in the 17th century, with designs by the Baroque architect Filippo Juvarra. The palace also includes the Palazzo Chiablese and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, the latter of which was built to house the famous Shroud of Turin. In 1946, the building became the property of the state and was turned into a museum. In 1997, it was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list along with 13 other residences of the House of Savoy. Construction of the palace was ordered by the Regent Christina Maria in 1645.She wanted a new residence for the court after her son returned from the civil war.
The chosen location was the previous Bishop's Palace, which had been built in the middle of the new capital of Savoy, Turin, during the reign of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy (1528–1580). Its advantages included an open and sunny position, in addition to being close to other buildings where the court met.[5] The Duke was able to monitor the two entrances of the city (the Palatine and the Pretoria gates) from the Bishop's Palace. The Bishop's Palace in Turin was later captured by the French in 1536 and served as a residence of the French Viceroys of Savoy, who were appointed by Francis I of France. Opposite the Bishop's Palace was the Palazzo Vecchio or the Palazzo di San Giovanni. This building, disparagingly known as Pasta con Tonno (English: Pasta with tuna) because of its architecture, was later replaced by the grand Ducal Palace.
