Here are some useful tips for arriving prepared at the museum:


  1. Plan your visit in advance; the earlier you do it, the more options you'll have for choosing the day and time slot. During weekends, there will be more people, but there's always a limited number of visitors for each time slot to avoid endless queues.
  2. Book your tours online and download your ticket to your phone to skip the lines at the ticket office.
  3. If you're not staying in accommodation near the monument, check public transportation options in advance and how long it takes to reach there. Find your perfect stay near the Royal Museums.
  4. Dress comfortably and in layers so you can adapt to different temperatures.

Curiosities of Palazzo Madama


Here are some particular features that make Palazzo Madama even more interesting!😊

  1. Roman Origins: Palazzo Madama stands on what was the entrance to the city of Turin in Roman times, known then as Augusta Taurinorum. Remains of the ancient Roman gate are still visible in the palace's foundations.
  2. Name from a Nickname: The name "Palazzo Madama" comes from the nickname given to two women of the Savoy royal family who lived there. First was Christine of France, wife of Duke Victor Amadeus I of Savoy, and then Marie Jeanne Baptiste of Savoy-Nemours, wife of Duke Charles Emmanuel II.
  3. Fusion of Architectural Styles: Palazzo Madama is a perfect example of a fusion of different architectural styles. The back part of the palace retains the medieval towers and the appearance of a fortress, while the front facade is a Baroque work designed by architect Filippo Juvarra in the 18th century.
  4. Hall of the Subalpine Senate: Between 1848 and 1864, Palazzo Madama housed the Senate of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Hall of the Subalpine Senate, where the sessions were held, is still preserved and can be visited inside the palace museum.
  5. The Civic Museum of Ancient Art: Since 1934, Palazzo Madama has been home to the Civic Museum of Ancient Art, which hosts a vast collection of artworks, furnishings, and historical artifacts. Among the most prized pieces are works by great artists such as Antonello da Messina and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
