The Castle of Agliè: a Gem on the 'Crown of Delights' in Piedmont

The Ducal Castle of Agliè is part of the Royal Residences of the Savoy, a collection of twenty-two structures created by the Savoy dynasty in the splendid setting of Piedmont between the 16th and 18th centuries.

From the sumptuous palaces of Turin, the center of political power, to the magnificent residences nestled among verdant landscapes, where the court loved to retreat for leisure, the royal family over time shaped a constellation of 'gems' known as the 'Crown of Delights', which was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1997.
