📸 Turin Royal Palace | A Photo Wonderland 🔸

Architecture students enter for free, and a regular student ticket is only 2€ 🎫. It's incredibly opulent!!! The pinnacle of Baroque!!! 🏰 Main Hall | The Palazzo Reale was the royal palace of the House of Savoy. During the period of Carlo Alberto (1831-1849), under the guidance of Pelagio Palagi, some of the noble floors were renovated. As the capital shifted from Turin to Florence and then to Rome, the palace gradually lost its residential function. Since 1955, it has been handed over to the Superintendence for Architectural and Landscape Heritage; today it is part of the Royal Museums. The banquet hall, ballroom are also great for photos ✨ Especially the banquet hall, stepping in feels like a dream wedding scene. 💒 Cappella della Sacra Sindone ⛪️ | Located deep in the west side of the palace, with a spiral dome connected to the apse of the cathedral, you'll find this Gothic-style black church, known as the Chapel of the Holy Shroud or Guglielmo Church. The black marble columns are beautiful, adorned with carved stars, and the golden theme rises under the hexagonal railing, smooth and sacred, especially when viewed in sunlight ⭐️. Regarding the Cappella della Sacra Sindone, I watched a documentary on Weibo. Since 1578, the Shroud has been preserved in the royal church. But there are many debates about this cloth, such as some saying it's the face of someone crucified back then, not Jesus. After all, it has passed through too many hands, and it's hard to definitively say this is that cloth. 🛡️ The Royal Armory houses a vast collection of 16th and 17th-century weapons. 🚇 Transportation | If you take the train to Turin, it's about a fifteen-minute walk from Porta Nuova. It's really convenient for a day trip from Milan. #Italy #WeekendGetaway #Turin #DayTripsFromMilan #BaroqueArchitecture #MilanLife #TurinTurin
