Experts' Choice Award Armeria Reale
What the experts agree on
One of Europe's most significant arms and armor collections, spanning from Neolithic to modern times, housed in an ornate 17th-century Savoy palace. Standout pieces include Renaissance weapons and items once owned by Emperor Charles V.
“ The residence of the House of Savoy, begun in 1645 and designed by the Francophile count of Castellamonte, reflects the ornately baroque tastes of European ruling families of the time.”
