点评:Mole Antonelliana, named after architect Allessandro Antonelliana is certainly the Turin landmark and city symbol.
First, it was meant to be a Synagogue on a land bought by the Turin Jewish community, but after first stages of building the idea was abandoned due to lack of funds. After that, the city of Turin bought it, and Antonelliana's work was completed in 1889, around quarter a century after it was started.
For some time it was the tallest brick building in Europe with its 167 met, built in eclectic style.
Today, Mole houses the Cinema museum, as well panoramic views from its observation deck.
I've visited the Cinema museum six years ago, while not being a huge movie fan found it just ok, so did not repeat it now.
This year we've climbed the observation deck. Tickets for both attractions are sold separately, as well a combo package for both with a discount - preferably online.
Riding the glass elevator is a cool experience. Once up, views are really nice stretching 360' all around with the Alps scenery, Superga Cathedral, as well the entire city beneath you.
However, a crucial landmark is missing - the Mole Antonelliana.
It's just the same when viewing NYC from the Empire (I always preferred views from Top of the Rock or Vanderbilt because you see the iconic Empire).
Likewise, I found Turin views much better from across the Po, Chiesa Santa Maria dei Cappuccini Church - you see the entire city with Mole, the Alps....and best of all - totally free.
翻译:安托内利尖塔(Mole Antonelliana)以建筑师亚历山德罗·安托内利命名,无疑是都灵的地标和城市象征。
最初,它计划建在都灵犹太社区购买的一块土地上,作为一座犹太教堂,但由于资金不足,最初阶段的建设计划被放弃。之后,都灵市买下了它,安托内利尖塔于1889年竣工,距其动工约25年。
它曾一度是欧洲最高的砖砌建筑,高达167米,采用折衷主义风格。
如今,尖塔内设有电影博物馆,从观景台可以欣赏到全景。
六年前,我参观过电影博物馆,虽然我并不是电影迷,但觉得还不错,所以这次就没再去了。
今年我们登上了观景台。两个景点的门票单独出售,也可以选择组合套票,折扣力度更大——最好是在线购买。
乘坐玻璃电梯是一次很酷的体验。登顶后,360度的美景令人叹为观止,阿尔卑斯山的景色、苏佩尔加大教堂以及脚下的整座城市尽收眼底。
然而,一个重要的地标——安托内利尖塔——却不见了。
从帝国大厦俯瞰纽约,感觉也一样(我一直更喜欢从峭石之巅或范德比尔特大学俯瞰纽约,因为那里可以看到标志性的帝国大厦)。
同样,我觉得从波河对岸的圣玛利亚卡普奇尼教堂俯瞰都灵,景色更美——你可以俯瞰整座城市,包括安托内利尖塔、阿尔卑斯山……而且最棒的是——完全免费。
