PA L ACES, C A STLES A ND FORT S
A land of dames and knights.
Once upon a time there was a marvellous territory dotted with magnificent palaces, enchanting castles,
imposing fortresses... and it still there: in & around Torino!
The old dynasty of the Savoy family has left possessions of inestimable value: the Royal Residences
shine in all thier splendour, of extraordinary cultural and environmental interest, declared “World
Heritage” by UNESCO.
In all the Torino and surrounding area, dominating the hills, the plain or the mountains, castles are
among the most exciting pages to read the book of these beautiful places.
But the court was capable of keeping itself protected: the Western Alps, with thier imposing ramparts,
proof an important military architecture which goes from early Middle Ages to the Second World War.
Look for the free entrances with the Torino+Piemonte Card!
