Going North toward the Canavese, there is the Castello Ducale di Aglie (Ducal Castle of Aglie), the Residence with more than 300 rooms, richly decorated and well furnished. The castle was chosen by king Carlo Felice as his favourite resort residence.

Going north, you can visit the city of Racconigi, with its amazing Castle and the wide park enriched by amazing fountains and statues. Today The Castello di Rivoli (Castle of Rivoli) is the seat of one of the most prestigious Museums of Contemporary Arts, one of the most important institutions of its kind in Europe, that exposes the permanent collection and important temporary exhibitions.
