Itinerary
The seat of the Dukes of Savoy and later of the Kings of Sardinia and then of Italy, from which the Albertine Statute was promulgated, which houses the Royal Armory and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud.
The Chapel of the Holy Shroud designed by Guarino Guarini and completed in 1683, destroyed by a terrible fire in 1997, is directly connected to the Royal Palace with an access corridor and offers a view of the Cathedral where the Holy Shroud is kept in the dark in a case in a controlled environment and atmosphere. The Shroud is therefore NOT visible, but it is possible, if requested and during the opening hours of the Turin Cathedral, to add a visit to the Cathedral and gather in prayer near the Shroud.
On request it is possible to include in the total duration of the tour a visit to the Cathedral of Turin, with a passage to the Chapel where today the Holy Shroud is housed (kept in a sealed case, in the dark, in a protected environment and resistant to any natural event, it is not visible)

About Turin
Turin is the elegant Piedmont capital below the Alps, a city of arcaded avenues, royal palaces, a famous Egyptian museum, chocolate and vermouth.
Turin was the first capital of unified Italy, from 1861 to 1865, and before that the seat of the Savoy dynasty, whose baroque palaces and wide arcaded streets still define the centre. Piazza Castello holds the Royal Palace and Palazzo Madama, and Piazza San Carlo is a grand square with twin churches. The Mole Antonelliana, a tower topped by a spire, houses the National Cinema Museum, and the cathedral keeps the Shroud of Turin.
