This monumental estate has a surface area of 80,000 square meters, with 50 hectares of garden and a further 3,000 hectares that make up the La Mandria Park. The palace is considered a masterpiece of architecture and landscaping, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. It has been subject to major European restoration project and has been open to the public since 2007.

 

The building boasts some of the most important examples of Baroque architecture in the world: the spectacular Diana Room designed by Amedeo di Castellamonte, the solemn Galleria Grande, the Fountain of the Stag, and finally the Cappella of Saint Uberto, which holds the imposing complex of 18th Century Juvarra Stables by Filippo Juvarra. The estate provides an exceptional location for their permanent collection “Theater of History and Magnificence”, dedicated to the noble House of Savoy.
