Welcome to Royal Museums Turin! You are in Piazza Castello, the square that was the historic heart of the ancient city of 'Augusta Taurinorum.'

In this central location, the rulers of the Savoy family lived, and they built an immense residence, full of wealth and splendor. The estate expands over an area of 30,000 square meters (now used as exhibition spaces and warehouses), surrounded by 7 hectares of gardens.

The complex is built around what was the first Royal Palace in all of Italy, inhabited by the reigning family until 1865. In this immense building, in addition to the royal residence, you can find the royal armory, the chapel of the Holy Shroud, the Sabauda Gallery, the Museum of Antiquities, the royal gardens, and the royal library!

You won't be bored amidst all this vastness of things to see! Only in person can you truly appreciate the beauty of this complex; you'll feel like you're truly stepping back in time, immersing yourself in the Renaissance atmosphere!

The great convenience of this beautiful palace is also its location; having been the hub of the Savoy kingdom, it is located in the heart of the capital city of Piedmont and is therefore one of the best place to stay.

The palace overlooks Piazza Castello, the crossroads of the city's most important and beautiful streets! From here, the three pedestrian shopping streets start (Via Roma, Via Garibaldi, and Via Lagrange), and then one of the longest streets, with arcades on both sides, leads to Piazza Vittorio; via Po.
