Located in the Mastio, the only remains of the fortified stronghold, this is the oldest museum in the city. Built for Carlo Emanuele III in 1731 it tells the story of artillery and arms from the 14th to the 20th century. Amongst the collections there are some portable and battle weapons and arms used for attack and defense from different origins, some of which are extremely rare.
