Villa Reale di Monza

About:

The Villa Reale di Monza or Royal Villa of Monza is an Italian heritage palace located only 20km from the city center of Milan, that is to say roughly 12 miles.
It is a fine example of neoclassical style architecture, while its English landscape park is one of the largest enclosed parks in Europe.
The palace was originally built by Giuseppe Piermarini for the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, but in 1861 it became residence of the Royal House of Savoy, which ruled unified Italy for 85 year.
The complex re-opened its gates to the public in September 2014 after a restoration process lasted two years.
