Sindone Chapel, Baroque chapel in Turin Cathedral, Italy
The Sindone Chapel features a complex dome structure with circular windows and interconnected arches rising above a dark marble interior.
Architect Guarino Guarini completed the chapel in 1694 under Carlo Emanuele I to house the Turin Shroud, a venerated Christian relic.
The chapel maintains its role as a religious center where visitors observe the container holding the Turin Shroud during designated exhibitions.
The chapel reopened to visitors in 2018 following a 21-year restoration project that repaired damage caused by a 1997 fire.
The chapel incorporates mathematical principles in its architecture, with overlapping arches forming a spiral pattern that channels natural light.
