The Racconigi castle dates from the 12th century, the period in which it was the manor of the Marchesi of Saluzzo. It then passed into the hands of the Acaja family and then became the property of Savoy in 1620. It was enlarged by Guarino Guarini and by Palagi in the 19th century. There is a remarkable series of salons, each one furnished in a different style, which are open to the public.
