  We perform a detailed analysis of black hole solutions in supergravity
models. After a general introduction on black holes in general relativity and
supersymmetric theories, we provide a detailed description of ungauged extended
supergravities and their dualities. Therefore, we analyze the general form of
black hole configurations for these models, their near-horizon behavior and
characteristic of the solution. An explicit construction of a black hole
solution with its physical implications is given for the STU-model. The second
part of this review is dedicated to gauged supergravity theories. We describe a
step-by-step gauging procedure involving the embedding tensor formalism, to be
used to obtain a gauged model starting from an ungauged one. Finally, we
analyze general black hole solutions in gauged models, providing an explicit
example for the $\,\mathcal{N}=2$, $\,D=4$ case. A brief review on special
geometry is also provided, with explicit results and relations for
supersymmetric black hole solutions.
