Unexpected surprise - We met our wonderful tour guide Sophia at the gate of the unassuming appearing palace. Within a few minutes our opinions changed 180 degrees when we entered the main reception green room. Spectacular !! The palace is very long with stunning decor in each room/chamber that we passed thru. The Royal armory was a museum itself , just amazing. The jewel of the tour and a surprise to us was the housing / chapel of the shroud of Turin. This sanctuary was where the shroud was on display for centuries. This magnificent chapel was unlike anything we had seen before. The shroud is no longer on display but secured close by. This is a palace worth seeing!
