Royal Palace Guided TourRoyal Splendor: Exploring the Savoy Legacy in Turin
The Royal Palace in Turin is one of the city's most important monuments, alongside the Mole Antonelliana and Palazzo Madama. It served as the residence of the Savoy family, who ruled from the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861 until the proclamation of the Republic in 1946.
Guided Tour of the Royal Palace
Your journey through royal history begins as you meet your expert guide at the entrance of the Royal Palace in Turin. As you step inside, you will be transported to the days of the Kingdom, walking through the same rooms where the realm itself was shaped.
The tour will take you through various significant spaces within the palace, such as the Throne Room, where you can imagine the power and grandeur of the Savoy monarchy; the room where the king signed the Statuto Albertino, Italy's first constitution; the elegant ballroom, where many evenings were spent hosting events, parties, ceremonies, and influential guests.
The journey concludes with a visit to the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, built in Baroque style specifically to house the relic of Jesus Christ. Although the Shroud is no longer kept in this room due to a fire that nearly destroyed it, the chapel remains a must-see for its beauty and historical and religious importance.
