#1 Gran Madre di Dio Church (Turin) +15 recs 4.5/5

The Gran Madre di Dio Church, a neoclassical masterpiece built between 1818 and 1831, commands the banks of the Po River with Corinthian columns inspired by the Pantheon. Erected to celebrate the return of Victor-Emmanuel I, it intrigues visitors with esoteric legends of the Holy Grail and the goddess Isis. Its forecourt offers a clear view of Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the historic center of Turin.

#2 Royal Palace of Turin (Turin) +15 recs 5/5

A symbol of the House of Savoy, the Royal Palace of Turin serves as the historic and political core of Turin. More than just a castle, it is part of the Musei Reali di Torino (Royal Museums of Turin), a complex featuring lavish apartments, one of the richest armories in Europe, an art gallery, and the famous Chapel of the Holy Shroud. Plan for a half day to explore this deep dive into the history of Italy.

#3 Valentino Castle (Turin) +8 recs 5/5

With slate roofs and intricate dormers, this royal residence stands out for its distinctly French architecture. While the interiors now house the architecture faculty, the site is best enjoyed via a stroll along the Po river. Keep an eye on Giornate FAI dates for a chance to explore its ornate 17th-century halls at Valentino Castle.

#4 Turin Cathedral (Turin) +1 rec 3/5

As the only Renaissance structure in Turin, the Turin Cathedral was built between 1491 and 1498. It houses the famous Shroud of Turin within a spectacular baroque chapel designed by Guarino Guarini from 1668 to 1694. This mysterious relic draws global interest. A replica is on display, while the original remains reserved for papal decree.
