UNESCO: Residences of the Royal House of Savoy

The Residences of the Royal House of Savoy are a group of 22 buildings in Turin and the Metropolitan City of Turin, in Piedmont (northern Italy). As well as palaces in Turin itself, country houses and hunting lodges were built in the surrounding countryside.

All these buildings have been jointly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the basis that they "represent the best in European monumental architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries, expressing in their style and opulence a potent demonstration of the power of absolute monarchy in material terms".
