The Royal Palace of Turin, a resplendent example of Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the House of Savoy. Originally constructed in the 16th century, it underwent significant modernization in the 17th century under the direction of Christine Marie of France with Filippo Juvarra's Baroque designs. Notably, the palace complex includes the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, which was specifically built to house the revered Shroud of Turin. In 1997, this architectural marvel was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, further cementing its status as a historical and cultural treasure.
