Moncalieri Castle Park will soon open lots that have been inaccessible for centuries

Moncalieri’s Royal Castle Park will soon open to the public: ten hectares, inaccessible for centuries, on the best exposed side of the Turin hill will be by lots restored and accessible to visitors.

In September, after five years, the transfer of ownership from the state property to the City of Moncalieri will be officially signed, thanks to the efforts of the outgoing administration led by Mayor Paolo Montagna with the municipal councillor for Culture, Laura Pompeo.
The latter had initiated the interlocution that led to the transfer to the state property of the part of the park that has been abandoned for a long time and now houses a shooting range.

The Savoy residence in Moncalieri, after the end of the monarchy, went under the ownership of the Ministry of Defense, which installed a Carabinieri barracks there, still in use.

The upper part of the garden kept as woodland, designed in the mid-19th century as an English-style park for walks and pigeon hunting, will be revealed by the high walls that hide the park from view, built from the mid-17th century at the behest of Christina of France, daughter of King Henry IV of France.
