History and Culture
Turin adapted quickly to its loss of political significance, becoming first a centre for industrial production during the WWI years and later a hive of trade-union activity. Today, Turin is Italy's second-largest industrial city after Milan. The city has since looked forward to welcoming the international spotlight for all the right reasons, having hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Churches and Museums
Built between 1491 and 1498 on the site of three 14th-century basilicas, Turin's cathedral is the city's only remaining example of Renaissance architecture. It also happens to be home to Christendom's most controversial cloth - the Holy Shroud of Turin, a copy of which is on permanent display in front of the cathedral altar. The Cappella della Santa Sindone (1668-94), the rightful home of the shroud since 1694, has been closed for restoration since 1997 when it was severely damaged by fire.

Places of Interest
For a pleasant stroll from the city centre, visitors can cross the Po and ascend the little hill of Monte dei Cappuccini. This was once the site of a fort, later becoming a monastery and later still the home of the Club Alpino Italiano, who set up a Museum of the Mountains here. Fittingly, there is a great view over the city to the snow-capped Alps. You can visit the monastery's church, scene of vicious fighting in the seventeenth century, or simply sit and enjoy the view in a peaceful break from the city.
Parco del Valentino (Valentino Park)
Southwest of the Monte dei Cappuccini, beyond the Ponte Umberto I, is the large Parco del Valentino on the left bank of the Po, together with the Botanic Gardens (established 1729) and the fine Renaissance Castello del Valentino (1630-60). Towards the south end of the park stands the impressive equestrian statue of Duke Amadeo of Aosta (king of Spain 1870-73), erected in 1902.
