| The Royal Castle of Racconigi, located in the Piedmont region of Italy, is a historic residence with roots dating back to the 11th century. Originally a medieval fortress, it was transformed into a grand Baroque palace in the 17th century by architect Guarino Guarini under the commission of the House of Savoy. The castle served as a favored retreat for the Savoy family, particularly King Charles Albert, who made significant modifications to the structure and its surrounding park in the 19th century. The castle is renowned for its neoclassical and Baroque architecture, elegant interiors, and extensive English-style gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Xavier Kurten. |
