Turin (Torino) is one of Italy's most opulent cities, famous for its associations with Fiat, its fin de siècle cafés and a lovely baroque centre of ordered, elegant streets. Running through it is the River Po. Turin is a city of museums and palaces. Highlights include the important Museo Egizio, second only to the museum in Cairo, and the Galleria Sabauda, an art museum which contains the magnificent collections of the Savoy family. The Palazzo Carignano in Turin is an important baroque building; it contains in part the National Museum of the Risorgimento. The Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia Motor Museum houses an important collection of classic Italian and foreign cars. The Duomo houses the Turin Shroud. Two sights lie outside the city-the baroque Basilica di Superga, Juvarra's masterpiece, and the magnificent rococo hunting lodge, the Villa Reale di Stupinigi.
The Mole Antonelliana, a very original building and a remarkable feat of engineering skill, has become the symbol of Turin. Begun in 1863 as a synagogue, by the local architect Alessandro Antonelli, it has a spire 167 metres (548 feet) high.
