Cathedral

It was built in 1498. The church is not very big, but it is famous all over the world because it contains the holy Christian object "The Shroud of Jesus".

"The Shroud of Jesus" is a piece of linen. Surprisingly, there is a full-body image of Jesus on the cloth. Although the Vatican has never declared that the Shroud is credible, it is still collected and respected as a special object of Christianity. It was the French who first discovered this cloth. The shroud was first made public around 1356, which immediately shocked the whole Christian world, because the figure on the shroud not only looks like the legendary Christ, but also has blood. Later, under the research of religious scholars, it was determined that this cloth was used to wrap Jesus' body after he died on the cross, thus leaving the figure of Jesus. The shroud first appeared in the Middle East, and it finally flowed to Italy after several twists and turns. Because this cloth is a sacred object of Christianity, Italy regards it as a national treasure.

In the center of the square stands a riding statue of Filiberto, Emanuele. This statue created by Marocchetti has become a symbol of the city. There are murals depicting the sacred shroud in the corner of the square. The fashionable San Federico shopping gallery is located in the northwest corner of the square.

The Palace

It is located opposite the magnificent Prebissett Square.

The imperial garden behind it was built in the 18th century, and there was a huge double staircase leading to the royal residence. Since 1925, this palace has become the national library. In addition to the small palace theater and the national library, it also displays the living rooms, sitting rooms and bedrooms of the royal families of past dynasties, as well as porcelain, furniture, paintings and works of art from the 18th to 19th centuries.
