The Royal Palace of Turin is the first and most important of the Savoy residences in Piedmont, theater of the politics of the Savoy kingdom for at least three centuries. It is located in the heart of the city, in the Piazzetta Reale adjacent to the very central Piazza Castello, from which the main arteries of the historic center branch off: via Po, via Roma, via Garibaldi and via Pietro Micca.
It represents the heart of the Savoy court, a symbol of the power of the dynasty and, together with the other royal residences around Turin, such as the Venaria Reale palace, the Stupinigi hunting lodge or the Valentino castle, it is an integral part of the assets declared by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
