Rotonda Antonelliana, 19th century religious building in Castellamonte, Italy.
The Rotonda Antonelliana features high perimeter walls constructed with stones from the Orco river and red bricks, forming a circular structure.
Construction began in 1842 with plans to rival St Peter's Basilica in Rome, but financial constraints halted the project in 1846.
The interior space now houses the neo-Gothic Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church, designed by architect Luigi Formento between 1871 and 1875.
The circular space within the walls serves as a venue for various public events, including the annual Ceramics Exhibition of Castellamonte.
The existing walls represent only one-third of the original design's intended size, which aimed to create one of Northern Italy's largest religious structures.
Inception: 1842
