Modified and enlarged many times during the 18th century by the royal architects, including Filippo Juvarra, it is a three-story building, with side pavilions enclosing a central body characterized by a double arcade. The park, constructed on different levels, is embellished by sculptures, fountains and marble balustrades. A considerable restoration effort is currently in progress under the responsibility of the agency for architectural and environmental heritage. http://www.visitatorino.com/en/villa_regina.htm
