The Palace of Venaria, a stunning example of Baroque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the House of Savoy. Designed by Amedeo di Castellamonte in 1675, it was initially a hunting lodge for Duke Charles Emmanuel II. Over time, it evolved into a magnificent residence adorned with artworks and elaborate gardens. After a period of military use and abandonment, it underwent the largest restoration project in European history, reopening in 2007 to offer visitors a glimpse into its past splendor.
