Palazzo Carignano--page 2 (of two pages)

Views from the courtyard The palace was added on to but these views show only the original part. See the plan for the original structure. The "U-shaped" courtyard was enclosed and additional bays were added to the sides. See center image below for the four original side bays. Barely visible is the extension on the side--the color of the brick is also different.
