La riqualificazione avvenne grazie al progetto di Filippo Juvarra, primo architetto di Casa Savoia, che però, ne realizzò solo la facciata: una maschera barocca che non nasconde l’antico castello medioevale, ma, anzi, gli dona importanza come simbolo di potere. Con il passar del tempo, il castello subì molti rimaneggiamenti, secondo l’uso che se ne fece.
Hello friends.
Today we talk about another beautiful palace of our city: Palazzo Madama.
It 's situated in the central Piazza Castello. It was built by the Romans as the "city gate", as evidenced by the two towers and then conglobated into the Baroque facade of the building. In the thirteenth century, William VII leaned against a fortified house. In ‘400, Louis of Acaja enlarged it, adding the back face. Later, some restoration works transformed the castle into a palace for the ducal family.
The redevelopment was due to a design by Filippo Juvarra, first architect of the House of Savoy, which, however, realized only the façade: a Baroque form that does not hide the old medieval castle, but, indeed, gives it importance as a symbol of power. With the passage of time, the castle underwent many changes, according to the uses to which they did.
In the nineteenth century, Carlo Alberto made it seat of the Royal Picture Gallery, then the Subalpine Senate and then the Court of Cassation. At the beginning of ‘900, n the restoration supplement began, to retrieve the original medieval structures that returned to Turin an important document of the 2000 years of history. Since 1934 it houses the Civic Museum of Ancient Art. Since 2010, the facade of Juvarra is being restored; also the gardens surrounding the building will be re-housed: in fact ,they will have some botanical varieties of the medieval period.

Buongiorno amici.
E’ situato nella centralissima Piazza Castello. Fu eretto dai romani come “porta cittadina”, come testimoniano le due torri poi conglobate nella facciata barocca dell’edificio. Nel XIII secolo, Guglielmo VII vi addossò una Casa-forte. Nel ‘400, Ludovico d’Acaja lo ampliò, aggiungendo il fronte posteriore. In seguito, iniziarono le opere di abbellimento che trasformarono il castello in un palazzo per la famiglia ducale.
Nel XIX secolo Carlo Alberto lo destinò a sede della Pinacoteca Regia, poi del Senato Subalpino e poi della Corte di Cassazione. All’inizio del ‘900, iniziò il restauro integrativo per recuperare le originarie strutture medioevali che ha restituito a Torino un importante documento dei 2000 anni della sua storia. Fin dal 1934 è sede del Museo Civico d’Arte Antica. Dal 2010, la facciata di Juvarra è in fase di restauro e i giardini che circondano il Palazzo saranno risistemati: infatti, ospiteranno alcune varietà botaniche del periodo medioevale.
