Residenze Sabaude - Castello di Agliè Agliè

The first radical transformation date back to 1646, the year in which Count Filippo San Martino d'Agliè, who was very close to Madama Reale Maria Cristina and the Savoy court, commissioned the reconstruction of the ancient fortress from the architect Amedeo di Castellamonte. After a short prosperous period, between 1690 and 1706, the year of the Piedmontese's victory, the palace ran into the war's violence and was invaded by French troops. In the second half of the eighteenth century, the castle was bought by Carlo Emanuele III and transferred to his son Benedetto Maurizio, appointed Duke of Chiabese.
