This is the shroud in which, according to tradition, the body of Christ was wrapped in after he was lowered down from the cross. The modern history of the Shroud of Turin is closely connected with the history of the family that owned it and carefully stored it for hundreds of years, so besides stories about the Shroud, I will also make you discover the history of a noble family that fought for it. The Holy Shroud is not on display but I will take you to the chapel where it has been seated since the big fire of 1997. Join me to discover why, when and how the Shroud of Turin arrived here, visit the baroque architecture that it inspired and learn about the unresolved mystery behind the Shroud that still has the power to captivate people.
- We will visit the 1600s chapel that temporarily hosted the Shroud when it finally arrived in Turin in the 1580s, waiting for the ultimate chapel to be completed. - We will buy an admission ticket to the Royal Palace (not included in the cost of the tour), where we will walk into the footsteps of the Savoy Royal family to reach their private, 1600s Holy Shroud chapel - We will enjoy the amazing masterpiece of baroque architecture specifically designed for the Holy Shroud in the late 1600s. - Finally, you will be standing 10 meters from the shroud, in front of the chapel where it lays. I can customize this tour to your personal interests, so please let me know your preferences. Please wear comfortable shoes, as this tour requires 3 hours of walking.
