Turin Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Turin, Italy

The Turin Cathedral features a bell tower from 1470 and combines Renaissance architecture with later Baroque additions throughout its extensive stone structure.

Cardinal Domenico della Rovere initiated the cathedral's construction in 1491, replacing three earlier churches that previously occupied the location of an ancient Roman theater.

The cathedral maintains its position as the central religious edifice of Turin, serving as the seat of the Archbishop and hosting regular Catholic ceremonies.

Located in central Turin, the cathedral opens daily for religious services and visits, with extended hours during summer months and reduced schedules in winter.

The Chapel of the Holy Shroud within the cathedral contains the famous Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth bearing the image of a crucified man.
