Interior view

The Stupinigi hunting lodge lies on flat ground and has an extensive, varied ground plan. The major part of the complex, including service buildings and stable block, consists of low structures with very simple lines. These served as a framework and a foreground. Central to these rises the elliptical, stepped banqueting hall.
Galleries ring the interior. From this central space , four further ballrooms extend to form the arms of a cross. The sole purpose of this ground plan seems to be to create a series of theatrical settings.
The picture shows the Great Hall.
