The Cathedral of Turin holds within its walls one of the most famous relics in the world: the Holy Shroud.

The cathedral was built in honour of St. John the Baptist, patron saint of Turin, between 1491 and 1498. In the 17th century, the chapel of the Holy Shroud was added, where the mysterious shroud, protected inside a fireproof box and visible only during ostensions, is kept. Clad in white marble, the facade of the Duomo stands out in the urban landscape. Three elegant portals give access to a Latin cross structure with three naves and Gothic decorative elements.

Sobre mais à voir. Le dôme est en fait la chapelle qui fait partie du circuit du palais royal. On ne peut y acceder depuis le duomo.

Ce n'est pas le plus bel édifice religieux de Turin mais il est incontournable par sa grandeur. Le dôme vaut le coup d’œil. Il est situé en plein centre historique.
