Aglie Castle, a World Heritage Site under the serial nomination of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.

On the micro level the design conservation theory of the site was considered first highlighting the need, purpose and target audience for the project.
