The Chapel of the Holy Shroud, so called because the <\/span>Holy Shroud was kept inside from 1694 to 1993<\/b>, is an absolutely unique work of architecture. Commissioned by Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy in 1610 to preserve the sacred cloth, the chapel finally emerged in the second half of the 17th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

Designed in 1667 by the architect <\/span>Guarino Guarini,<\/b> one of the greatest representatives of Piedmontese Baroque, the dome is conceived as a ‘reliquary tower’ with six levels of overlapping and staggered arches that terminate at the top in the star-sun with the dove of the Holy Spirit in the centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1694 the Shroud was placed in the double central altar where it remained until 1993, when it was moved to the Cathedral.<\/span><\/p>\n

Affected by a major fire in April 1997, the Chapel of the Shroud underwent a lengthy restoration that ended in 2018, when it was reopened to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

To visit it, buy your ticket at the Royal Museums of Turin, at the ticket office of the Royal Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n
