Lonely Planet review

Built between 1491 and 1498 on the site of three 14th-century basilicas, Turin's cathedral is the city's only remaining example of Renaissance architecture. It also happens to be home to Christendom's most controversial cloth - the Holy Shroud of Turin, a copy of which is on permanent display in front of the cathedral altar.

The Cappella della Santa Sindone (1668-94), the rightful home of the shroud since 1694, has been closed for restoration since 1997 when it was severely damaged by fire.
