It is named Shroud of Turin because it is kept in the city of Turin in the North of Italy, not very far from France. The Shroud is securely stored in the Cathedral of Turin, in a protective sealed case, fully unrolled on a flat surface. The case is filled with an inactive gas (i.e., argon) to reduce oxidation of the linen of the Shroud. The Shroud itself is not visible to visitors although an enlarge copy of the image of the face of the Shroud can be seen near the protective case.
