Rivoli Castle

Rivoli Castle (Castello di Rivoli) is a former Savoy residence in Rivoli near Turin that now houses a museum of contemporary art. The site combines an historic palatial building with contemporary exhibition spaces and programming.

The museum presents rotating exhibitions and a growing contemporary art collection in restored rooms and purpose-adapted galleries. The juxtaposition of 17th- and 18th-century architecture with contemporary installations is a defining feature of the visitor experience.

The castle has medieval and early modern origins and was transformed over centuries under the House of Savoy; in the late 20th century it was repurposed for cultural use and now serves as a public museum.

Castello di Rivoli is located in the town of Rivoli in Piedmont on the outskirts of Turin, and is accessible from the city and surrounding region.
