The Chapel of the Holy Shroud is a baroque chapel in Turin, between the cathedral and the royal palace, built to house the Shroud of Turin. Designed by Guarino Guarini from 1668 and completed in 1694, it is crowned by a dome of stacked arches rising in a cone. Badly damaged by fire in 1997, it reopened after restoration in 2018.
