About Madama Palace

A part-medieval, part-baroque castle built in the 13th century on the site of the old Roman gate. It was once the home of two "Royal Ladies". The first, Christine of France, had the courtyard of the medieval castle covered to create a large assembly room. The second, Marie-Jeanne-Baptiste of Savoy-Nemours, died before her extensive rebuild was completed. Known for being the first Italian Senate, Palazzo Madama is home to a beautiful collection of Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissant masterpieces
Address : P.za Castello, 10122 Torino TO, Italy
