About Turin
Turin is the fourth largest city in Italy and the capital of the Piedmont region, nestled at the foot of the Alps in the north-west of the country. For a time it served as the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and it was home to the Italian royal family, the House of Savoy, whose palaces and residences still shape the city's grand character. Turin is known for its elegant baroque architecture, its wide arcaded streets, and its outstanding museums, including the Egyptian Museum. The city is a major automotive industry center and the historic home of Fiat, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo, and it played a central role in Italian industrial growth. Turin is also famous for the Shroud of Turin, a relic kept in the city's cathedral, and for its vibrant cafés and chocolate traditions, making it an appealing destination in northern Italy.
