Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist (Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista)
No visit to this city is complete without a visit to the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, a fine example of baroque architecture and where one of Christianity's holiest artifacts, the Shroud of Turin, is usually kept. It is said by believers to be the cloth that wrapped the body of Christ after the crucifixion, and bears his ghostly image. If not here, the controversial Shroud may be found around the corner at the Holy Shroud Museum.
