Visit the amazing throne room, a brilliant example of the Italian baroque style. Gold and gemstones embellish the magnificent hall, symbol of the opulence of that period. Enter the royal office where the king signed his coronation documents, and many other fascinating and luxurious chambers, such as the ballroom or the apartments.

About Turin
Turin is the elegant Piedmont capital below the Alps, a city of arcaded avenues, royal palaces, a famous Egyptian museum, chocolate and vermouth.
Turin was the first capital of unified Italy, from 1861 to 1865, and before that the seat of the Savoy dynasty, whose baroque palaces and wide arcaded streets still define the centre. Piazza Castello holds the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama, and Piazza San Carlo is a grand square with twin churches. The Mole Antonelliana, a tower topped by a spire, houses the National Cinema Museum, and the cathedral keeps the Shroud of Turin.
