The Cappella della Sacra Sindone (Chapel of the Holy Shroud) is included in this SAME ticket — there is no way to buy separate/standalone admission to just the chapel. See the cappella-della-sacra-sindone registry record, which mirrors this pass/price relationship rather than having its own independent pricing.

Overview & Visitor Introduction

Palazzo Reale was the principal residence of the House of Savoy and is now the anchor of the Musei Reali di Torino (Royal Museums), a single unified museum complex reached through one ticket and one entrance at Piazzetta Reale.

That one ticket covers the Dynastic Apartment on Palazzo Reale's first floor, the Royal Armoury (Armeria Reale), the Chapel of the Holy Shroud (Cappella della Sacra Sindone), the Sabauda Gallery picture collection, the Museum of Antiquities, and the Roman Theatre remains — a genuinely large complex for one admission price, but note it is closed Wednesdays, an unusual closure day for a major Italian museum.
