The royal palace of Venaria Reale is one of the Savoy Residences, part of the UNESCO Serial site, which has been listed on the World Heritage List since 1997. The Venaria palace was designed by the architect Amedeo di Castellamonte. It was commissioned by Duke Carlo Emanuele II who intended to make it the base for hunting trips on the hilly Turinese moorland.The same name in the Latin language of the palace, Venatio Regia, is derived from the term hunting royal palace. The village was joined by many houses and palaces of workers and ordinary citizens who wanted to live in the surroundings of the palace, until it became Venaria Reale an independent municipality of the province of Turin. The complex is imposing: access from the main entrance is welcomed in the court of honor, in the center of which stood a fountain called deer, the main facade in plaster with cornucopie shells and fruits is on the right side as "scarred" by a cesura of exposed bricks that delimit the seventeenth-century part from the eighteenth century, after the intervention of the first court architect Amedeo di Castellamonte.

This place is totally overrated! We made a special trip from Turin to Venaria Reale and all we can say is not worth it. They cannot restore the opulence of its former glory. There is lack of administration there. The moment we get though the gates there is no sign where we should start the route, unfortunately the stewards with such unfriendly and rude attitude will point to the exit.They weren't able to guide us to the Turner’s exhibition or other rooms. We had to find our way to the chapel which is tucked away. Though the palace looks a vast complex, it’s pretty much empty inside, no such royal opulence, not much to see and learn. It’s just a 15 mins get through out. The Hall of Diana is the only impressive room, very instagrammable as all the tourist were gathered there. The gardens are not impressive as they say they are. There is no comparison with Versailles or other Royal castles.

Impressive palace with beautiful gardens, justly made a UNESCO world heritage. The Reggia di Venaria Reale is a huge palace that started as the hunting lodge of the Savoia noble and royal family near the mountains, north of Turin. It is a vaste complex of grand halls and chambers. You can follow a tour through these rooms, many of which are finely decorated and contain some nice paintings. The grand gallery is one of the showpieces. The stables hold the prince’s beautiful boat and nice carriages. The palace is surrounded by wonderful gardens. There is a nice shop and a good bar in the palace. You can park nearby. Well worth a visit if you like grand palaces and gardens.
