Part of Moncalieri Castle reopens to the public

As of June 2, 2019, thanks to the memorandum of understanding signed by the Municipality and theArma, part of Moncalieri Castle will reopen to the public, specifically the areas managed by theCarabinieri Corps; the areas managed by the Consortium of Savoy Residences still remain closed.
The public will therefore be able to visit the Queen’s Hall, the Guest House, the Parade Ground, the Cavallerizza, Infernotti and the Italian Gardens.

The signed agreement also includes the possibility of making these spaces available for cultural and social events.

“This is an important moment for Moncalieri, which has the Castle as its symbol. Now we hope that the Consortium of Savoy Residences will do its part and activate the agreement that has been firm since 2017,” says Moncalieri Mayor Paolo Montagna with satisfaction.

Moncalieri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, was forced to close to the public last February because it was left with only one employee. And it had only been reopened since November 2017, after nine years of closure due to a fire that destroyed a wing of the castle in 2008.
