Palazzo Madama stands at the heart of Turin as one of the city’s most layered historic landmarks, a place where Roman foundations, medieval fortifications and Baroque splendour coexist within a single architectural narrative. Once a Roman gate and later a defensive castle, it was transformed between the 17th and 18th centuries under the guidance of the Madame Reali, whose patronage gave the palace its name and its elegant façade designed by Filippo Juvarra. In the 19th century it became the seat of the first Senate of the Kingdom of Italy, reinforcing its political significanceWikipedia+1. Today Palazzo Madama hosts the Museo Civico d’Arte Antica, displaying an extensive collection of artworks, sculptures and decorative objects that trace the artistic heritage of Turin and Piedmont from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Its blend of history, architecture and culture makes it one of Turin’s most compelling museum experiences.
