| Superga, la Gran Madre, il Duomo, la Consolata, la Crocetta – the religious structures of Turin tell its history. Some of these constructions are actual symbols of the city; others are famous for the area of the city or even a certain “style of life” they represent; some are surrounded by legends of magic and ancient rites; others are the masterpieces of the great architects who have come through Turin, such as Guarini and Juvarra. Indeed a tour of the most beautiful churches in Turin is a must, not only for believers but also for visitors who wish to see the extraordinary facades, altars, and frescos. Where to start? Why the Duomo, of course! The Duomo is the “home” of the Holy Shroud which is housed in the eccentric cupola designed by Guarini. The cupola was largely damaged by a fire in 1997, but today it has been almost completely restored. A tour of the churches will not only satisfy your spirit but also you eyes and your mind. |
