Pollenzo, Castello Reale

The Royal Castle of Pollenzo, was transformed in the 19th century from a medieval village into a refined royal residence by King Charles Albert of the House of Savoy. Designed in a picturesque neo-Gothic style, it served as a private retreat for the Italian royal family and a symbol of Romantic-era architecture. Today, part of the UNESCO World Heritage site 'Residences of the Royal House of Savoy,' Pollenzo also hosts a university dedicated to gastronomic sciences, blending royal heritage with culinary tradition.
