Mole Antonelliana (La)

Via Montebello, Turin, Italy

 

This is one of the highest works of masonry in Europe at 167.5 metres. It was planned by Alessandro Antonelli as a synagogue in the second half of the nineteenth century. The square based construction presents its facade towards Via Montebello and the quadrangular dome is mounted by a little temple with two columns which hold up the spire. The spire was rebuilt in 1953, after a violent storm when it collapsed and it was remodelled in metal overlaid with stone. There is an old Turin legend regarding universities and the Mole - if a student climbs the Mole during his studies, he will never graduate.
