Mole Antonelliana, Historic tower in Crocetta Centre, Turin, Italy
The Mole Antonelliana reaches 168 meters in height with an aluminum spire and stands as the primary architectural symbol of Turin.
Construction started in 1863 as a synagogue, but due to rising costs, the Jewish community transferred ownership to Turin municipality in 1876.
The National Museum of Cinema occupies the interior spaces of the building, making it the tallest museum structure in the world.
Visitors can access the panoramic viewing deck at 85 meters via an elevator that provides views across Turin and the surrounding Alps.
The building appears on Italian two-cent euro coins and served as inspiration for German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's writings.
