About Turin Cathedral

The Turin Cathedral is one of the prime places of worship and things to see in Turin. It's the only church in town built in the Renaissance style. The Holy Shroud, or Sacra Sindone as it is known in Italian, is kept at the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista and is a major tourist attraction. While its validity has been called into question, that hasn't stopped people from touring the church to witness it. Explore the Turin Cathedral Church and it's popular attractions with our Europe packages.

The Holy Shroud is housed in the Baroque masterpiece that is the Cappella della Sindone, designed by Guarino Guarini and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The magnificent Basilica of Superga, the creation of the legendary architect Filippo Juvarra, rises atop a hill, right in front of the city, and will no doubt impress everyone who has been captivated by the other historic churches in the area. The Basilica is so prominent since it is situated on a hill that is 670 meters above sea level that it can be seen from anywhere in the city.
