A stroll around Piazza Castello and along the Via Roma encompasses many of the must-see sights. Valentino Park houses an 18th-century castle, botanic garden and medieval village. When you've worked up an appetite, sample casual trattorias for pastas, regional wines and coffees.

This was the first “home” of the Holy Shroud after its arrival from Chambéry. San Lorenzo has an extraordinary cupola (completed in 1680) designed by Guarino Guarini and exemplifies the baroque style. The Duke Emanuele Filiberto had the church dedicated to the Saint after the victory of the Battle of San Quintino. In piazza Castello.

This church is merged so well with the surrounding buildings, although it is located at one of the corners of Piazza Castello, that we passed by its entrance several times and never noticed it. The interior is stunning - marble columns, beautiful murals, ornate chapels, the high altar which dates back to the late 17th century and the inner structure of the inside of the cupola that represents an inverted pentagon. It is a small church and it gives a specific sense of intimity.

For anyone who appreciates seeing the incredible imaginative power of mature Baroque architecture beyond the super-rich opulence of decoration, the interior of this church will be a delight. (Nota Bene, at the time of writing, it is illustrated with a picture of a completely different church at the Tripadvisor.) The surrounding of the church is one of the places in Turin where one feels that history is not in the past, it is very much part of the present. And the very rich hot chocolate with cream that has been served in the Caffe Al Bicerin opposite the church in the Piazza della Consolata since 1763 is a real treat.

We visited the synagogues in the Piedmont. Our base was Turin and we prayed at the synagogue there on Friday night and shabbat morning. The congregants were friendly. You do need to contact the synagogue in advance to gain entry.
