A big fire broke out on Monday at Turin’s Cavallerizza Reale, a historic building in the centre of the northern city which has UNESCO World Heritage status thanks to its special architectural features.
A portion of the roof collapsed after catching fire.
The blaze broke out shortly before 8am on the roof of the complex, sources said.
Four fire brigade squads were involved in fighting the flames.

While the blaze is now extinguished, final operations are still “in progress,” according to the fire department.
Cavallerizza Reale was built around 300 years ago as a military academy for senior officers from the royal House of Savoy.
