Cinema Museum Turin - Details of the Landmark Dome of the Mole Antonelliana

James Martin
Until recently, the Mole Antonelliana--which houses Italy's National Cinema Museum--was the highest masonary structure in Europe at over 500 feet. The tower, designed in 1863 by Alessandro Antonelli, is a familiar landmark in Turin; its image is stamped on the Italian 2 Eurocent piece.

Inside there's five floors of movie memorabilia, continuously playing movies you can view from specially designed lounge chairs with sound built into the headrests, a restaurant and more.
