Famous for the controversial Shroud of Turin, the city has much more to offer tourists by way of historical and cultural attractions. Also known by its Italian name of Torino, Turin is home to many beautiful examples of Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture, and it’s situated within the north west of Italy.
This beautiful domed church of Basilica di Superga was built in the early 1700s in a classical Baroque style, and is home to many tombs of Savoy royalty. The basilica is located on a fairly high hill so it’s a nice place to visit if you want to get an amazing view of Turin while you are at it.
Turin Cathedral
This is where the Shroud of Turin is kept, though it is not generally on display for visitors. Even so, the building is quite a sight on its own. It was originally built in the late 1400s though there have been renovations and additions in the years since then.
Museo Egizio
In English, it’s the Egyptian Museum and one of the more popular museums in Turin. It is the only museum dedicated solely to the culture and history of Egypt, outside of the museum in Cairo. Ancient statuary in wood and stone, artworks in bronze, and mummies that date back to more than 2,000 BC are just some examples of the abundant exhibits at the museum. Many of the items have come from the tombs of kings and pharaohs.
National Cinema Museum
The National Cinema Museum is held in the historic Mole Antonelliana, which used to be a large domed synagogue before being remodelled for the museum. Their huge collection includes thousands of movie memorabilia items, including posters, photographs, props and an audio archive too.
Palazzina di Caccia of Stupinigi
Just north of Turin, this 18th century mansion is a beautiful place to visit. It was once owned as a hunting lodge for royalty, though it looks more like an immense palace. Inside, it is thoroughly furnished in period style fitting the status of the original owners.
Medieval Village
Locally known as the Borgo Medievale, this reproduction village was built in 1884 for the Italian General Exhibition to showcase life in the Middle Ages. On the banks of the Po River, the site has several buildings including a castle with fortifications, courtyards, kitchens, a garrison and dining quarters. All are furnished as they would have been during their use.
