Behind a 16th-century facade lies the opulent, Baroque interiors of the palatial residence of the House of Savoy. The Royal Palace is an architectural triumph that highlights the luxuries enjoyed by the royalty of that time. Although originally built in the 16th Century, much of the interiors reflect the Baroque style of architecture and its exuberant use of artistic details. An abundance of gilded frames, intricate stucco embellishments, vivid paintings and rich carvings make up the corpus of the decor. Additions made in later years can be credited to the vision of architect, Filippo Juvarra, whose refined taste is reflected in some of the palace's more graceful and elegant aspects. Together with 13 other residences, the Royal Palace is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site by virtue of its place in the history of the House of Savoy. The Chapel of the Holy Shroud and the Palazzo Chiablese are also found here.
