The most famous attraction on the map of Turin is the Egyptian Museum, the second largest in the world. In terms of exhibition size, it is second only to the Cairo Museum. Here, you will find over 30,000 invaluable exhibits, such as the treasures of Nefertiti, the "Royal Papyrus," and even the ancient Egyptian Kama Sutra. The museum is located at Via Academia delle Scienze, 6 and is open to visitors from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office or on the website for 15 EUR.
The Turin Shroud is a name that is known to every Christian. According to legend, this is the shroud in which the body of Jesus, taken down from the cross, was wrapped. After the Resurrection, the shroud miraculously displayed an image of a human body. However, scientists have already been able to prove with 95% certainty that the shroud was created in the Middle Ages, but this does not deter believers.
A small piece of linen fabric is kept in the main cathedral of Turin - the Duomo di Torino. Tickets can be reserved and photos of this attraction in Turin can be seen on the official website.
The description of this attraction in Turin can be found in any brochure, as the Mole Antonelliana is considered one of the city's main symbols! Originally, this towering building was intended to be a synagogue, but due to architect Antonelli's decision to nearly double its height and the corresponding increase in construction costs, the Jewish community declined to sponsor the project.
The building was completed thanks to the city authorities, and today it houses the National Cinema Museum (Museo Nazionale del Cinema). For 10 EUR (8 EUR for children), you can explore thousands of set designs, photographs, and interactive exhibits from 9:00 to 20:00. Additionally, this Turin attraction offers guided tours, and for an extra 7 EUR, you can take the panoramic elevator to the top of the tower.
Turin was once known as the "cradle of freedom," a romantic nickname bestowed upon the city for its contribution of prominent politicians and figures of the Risorgimento (the movement for Italian unification). One of the landmarks on the map of Turin associated with these events is the University of Turin. Founded in the 15th century, it is considered one of the oldest universities in Italy, personally blessed by Pope Benedict XIII.
