Mole Antonelliana

The Mole Antonelliana, symbol of Turin

The Mole Antonelliana is the emblematic monument of Turin, recognisable by its slender silhouette that dominates the city. The Turin audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this spectacular structure, a symbol of the city and home of the National Cinema Museum.

The bold work of Antonelli

The Mole Antonelliana, designed by the architect Alessandro Antonelli in the nineteenth century, is a structure of impressive height, long one of the tallest buildings in Europe. First intended to be a synagogue, it has become the symbol of Turin. It today houses the National Cinema Museum and a panoramic lift that leads to a spectacular view of the city and the Alps.
