The Palace of Venaria is a former royal residence located in Venaria Reale, a town near Turin, Italy. It was built in the 17th century for the House of Savoy and was designed by the architect Amedeo di Castellamonte. The palace and its gardens cover an area of about 80,000 square meters.

The Palace of Venaria is a magnificent example of Baroque architecture, with its impressive façade, stunning galleries, and opulent decorations. The palace contains more than 80 rooms, including the Grand Gallery, the Royal Apartments, and the Chapel of St. Hubert.

The palace was used as a royal residence until the mid-19th century, after which it was abandoned and fell into disrepair. In the 20th century, it was restored and opened to the public. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. The palace also hosts cultural events, exhibitions, and concerts throughout the year.
