The largest residence of the House of Savoy was initially built as the hunting residence of Charles Emmanuel II by Amedeo di Castellamonte (1658-83). The building, with two courtyards, had the Diana hall at its centre; next, the Diana gallery by Michelangelo Garove (1700-13), the royal apartments, the stables, the citroniera (fruit grows) and the Sant'Uberto chapel by Filippo Juvarra (1716-28) were added. Recently renovated, today it is also possible to visit its splendid gardens and the XVII-century village.
Trivia – here Victor Emmanuel II lived together with his mistress Rosa Vercellana Guerrieri (nicknamed la bella Rosina) who had two children by him and that he married by morganatic marriage on 9th November 1869.
