I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city' is the definition.
(Turin is an example)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for turin that I've seen before include "City abroad" , "Italian destination" , "City of northern Italy" , "First capital of a united Italy, 1861-65" , "NW Italian city with famous Shroud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
