The Royal Palace of Turin at Piazzetta Reale 1 lists Ascanio Vittozzi, Carlo and Amedeo di Castellamonte, Filippo Juvarra, Benedetto Alfieri and Pelagio Palagi as architects in the infobox. Regent Christine Marie ordered construction in 1645, the year the infobox gives for groundbreaking. A facade caption gives 1646 to 1660, and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud was added in 1668 to 1694.
The infobox lists Baroque and Neoclassical styles, and the text says Neoclassicism was introduced under Charles Emmanuel III. The article gives no materials or dimensions. It also says the palace was built in the 16th century and modernized in the 17th, which does not match the 1645 start.
It became state property and a museum in 1946. UNESCO listed it in 1997. The museum includes the Royal Armoury. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
