- Explore the place where the Shroud of Turin is kept
The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist is well known as the place where one of the most famous religious relics — the Holy Shroud — is located. Due to its delicate state, the shroud is not normally available for public display. However, you can see the protecting "sarcophagus" in which the shroud is placed in the left transept of the cathedral and learn more about the relic.
- Admire the great example of Renaissance architecture
The Turin Cathedral is a rare testimony of the Renaissance style in the city. It was built in the late 15th century, adjacent to a bell tower that had been constructed slightly earlier. You can admire the white marble finish of the facade, which was a break from the contemporary brick finish of other buildings.
The Turin Cathedral is located at Piazza San Giovanni and is easily reachable from Piazza Castello, the main city's square. The nearest bus and light rail stops are Duomo and Castello, served by numerous lines and bus routes.
