Castello di Agliè
Piazza Castello, 1 - 10011 Agliè, Torino, Piemonte
The presence of greenery organized around the castle dates back to the first fortified nucleus, but the arrangement of the garden in the current three-level connotation is placed around the middle of the seventeenth century, with partial changes later. About a century later, and at the same time as the third phase of renovation of the castle, the park was set up, already cultivated: the documents return the memory of a geometric Italian park, with parterres, labyrinths, and pavilions. Only from 1839 the park had its current romantic layout through a drastic transformation of the eighteenth-century plant. The garden and the park, which surround the complex on three sides, attest to the process of ennobling operated on the territory by the presence of the castle, around which also rotate the rustic appliances: the mill, the farmhouses Valley, Laundry, Allea or La Mandria, whose aulic façade is framed in the perspective telescope of one of the main avenues of the park.
