Turin, Italy Travel Guide

"Located in the heart of the city, this 17th-century Savoy royal residence—now part of the Musei Reali—offers opulent royal apartments with crystal chandeliers, ceiling frescoes, gilded moldings, and antiques, plus gardens designed by André Le Nôtre. The most striking space may be the armory, which "features 18th-century ceiling frescoes and displays armor worn by medieval knights and their horses." - Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz Laura Itzkowitz is a writer and editor based in Rome.
