The Turin Cathedral, dating to the period between 1491 and 1498, stands in the same place where a XIV century basilica was founded in the past. This is the only testimony of Renaissance art in the city. Furthermore, the cathedral is the guardian of the most discussed Christian relic of all times: the Holy Shroud.Going beyond the Porta Palatina you get to the Porta Palazzo. Here the largest market in Europe is held with an extraordinary maze of stalls and the intrigue of multi-ethnic tastes and smells of incredible charm. A little farther on, in the neighborhood of Borgo Dora, you can come across in a lively and ancient flea market, known as the "Balon".Found between Piazza Castello and Piazza Carlo Felice, Piazza San Carlo is known as the 'living room of Turin' thanks to its extraordinary elegance. Among the baroque facades of the twin churches San Carlo and Santa Cristina, luxurious bars and chic boutiques follow one another, while in the center of the square you can admire the famous equestrian statue Caval d' Brôns, dedicated to Emanuele Filiberto.A few steps from Piazza San Carlo, you can visit the famous Egyptian Museum, one of the most important after the Museum of Cairo. In corso Unità d'Italia, the Automobile Museum Charles Biscaretti Ruffia is not to be missed with its 150 vehicles that show the history of cars in Italy and abroad.
