Turin Cathedral(Italian:Duomo di Torino; Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista) is aRoman CatholiccathedralinTurin, northernItaly. Dedicated to SaintJohn the Baptist(Italian:San Giovanni Battista). It is the seat of theArchbishops of Turin.

It was built during 1491–1498, adjacent to abell towerwhich had been built in 1470. Designed byGuarino Guarini, theChapel of the Holy Shroud(the current location of theShroud of Turin) was added to the structure in 1668–1694.

The church lies where the theatre of the ancient Roman city was located. Later, the site was developed with the construction of a complex of original three Christian churches, dedicated to the Holy Saviour, Saint Mary of Dompno (Santa Maria de Dompno) and (the largest one) to St. John the Baptist. According to some sources, the consecration of the main church was carried on byAgilulf,the Lombard King of northern Italyfrom 591 to 613.In 662,Garibald, Duke of Turin (it) was assassinated in the church by a follower ofGodepert, whose murder Garibald is believed to have had a part in.

The first three churches were demolished between 1490 and 1492. The construction of the new cathedral, still dedicated to St. John the Baptist, began in 1491. Amedeo de Francisco di Settignano, also known as Meo del Caprino, designed it and completed the construction in seven years. The pre-existing bell tower, was preserved.Filippo Juvarramodified the tower in the 17th century. PopeLeo Xofficially confirmed the church as metropolitan see in 1515.

In 1649 Bernardino Quadri prepared a project to enlarge the cathedral, to create a more impressive seat for the Holy Shroud. Quadri had moved from Rome to join the court of DukeCharles Emmanuel II of Savoyin Turin. His design was based on an earlier project byCarlo di Castellamonte: it included building an oval chapel behind the choir. In 1667Guarino Guariniwas invited to complete the project. The construction of the dome took 28 years: it was completed in 1694 under the direction ofMarie Jeanne of Savoy, Charles Emmanuel II\'s widow.

The cathedral is the burial place of BlessedPier Giorgio Frassati(1901–1925), Turin native, avid athlete, and benefactor of the poor, called the \"saint for youth of the Third Millennium.\" He was beatified byJohn Paul IIin 1990.

While the chapel of the Holy Shroud behind the cathedral was undergoing renovation during 2009, the Shroud was kept in a small chapel within the cathedral.
