At the edge of the city, behind the Corso Unione Sovietica, is the majestic La Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi. It is a beautiful, baroque creation built for Vittorio Amedeo II and designed by Filippo Juvarra in 1729. The main building is in the centre of a vast complex, and is in the shape of a St. Andrew's cross. Everything is set around the grand, elliptic salon, which has an admirable copy of the deer of Ladatte on its ceiling. The building is now home to the furniture museum.
