Description
The Stupinigi Royal Hunting Lodge ticket lets you explore, at your own pace, a palace that the Savoy court used for leisure and hunting. You set up the audioguide app on your smartphone as you enter, then follow it room by room for about an hour.
The lodge was begun in 1729 to a design by the architect Filippo Juvarra, one of his architectural jewels, and the audioguide tells how it came to be. Inside, the attention goes to the original 18th-century furnishings, the paintings and the cabinet-making masterpieces.
- The Central Hall and its precious decorations
- The Royal Apartments, with their 18th-century furniture
- The rooms where Napoleon and Queen Margherita lived, in rococo style
The building is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its late-Baroque architecture is as much a reason to come as the interiors.
This is an entry ticket for independent visitors, not a guided tour: only the ticket and the audioguide app are included, and there is no guide or map. You need your own smartphone for the app. The tour is offered in English and Italian.
