Mole Antonelliana curiosities

The first thing to know is that since its completion in 1889, when it reached its height of 167 meters, the Mole Antonelliana was one of the tallest masonry buildings in the world. Its name "Mole" derives from representing a record-breaking building, while "Antonelliana" honors its founder.
As highlighted on the dedicated page, the Mole had various meanings and roles; initially intended as a Jewish synagogue, then repurposed as a "monument to Italian unity," until becoming the current National Cinema Museum.
The original project was based on a tower of only 47 meters, which was then transformed and modified by the architect, reaching a height of 112 meters until the Jewish community abandoned the project due to insufficient funds to support such extensive changes. It was then, after a decade-long hiatus, that the Municipality of Turin took over the project and completed the work.
In the 19th century, it was one of the first monuments to be illuminated with the city's gas.
It was inaugurated on April 10, 1889, just 10 days after the inauguration of the almost "twin" Eiffel Tower (inaugurated on March 31, 1889).

The Mole Antonelliana is illuminated every evening until 2 a.m. However, not all evenings are the same; often it is illuminated traditionally, while other times it commemorates events, national holidays, or sports events. (For example, until March 3, it will be illuminated with the logo of the "seeyousound" International Music Film Festival). At other times, you may find it tinted red, orange, blue, green, purple, etc., depending on the event.

All that's left is to book your next visit to the museum and enjoy this beautiful journey into the highest tower of the city. And don't forget that this is just one of the beautiful tourist destinations you can enjoy in the Savoyard capital. Come with me and discover the tour offer by the Egyptian Museum, the Royal Museums, the Automobile Museum, Palazzo Madama, and the GAM.
