The Basilica of Our Lady Help of Christians stands at the centre of the Salesian complex of Valdocco. It was built for Saint John Bosco to designs by Antonio Spezia and opened in 1868, became a minor basilica in 1911, was enlarged in 1934–1942, and holds the remains of Don Bosco in a side chapel.
Turin Cathedral, dedicated to St John the Baptist, is the city's only Renaissance church, built in 1491–1498 beside a bell tower of 1470. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Turin and has kept the Shroud of Turin since 1578; Guarino Guarini's Chapel of the Holy Shroud, with its tiered dome, was added behind the choir in 1668–1694.
