 La Mole Antonelliana, Turin
At over 167 metres, La Mole was the highest brick building in the world at the time of its completion and remains the tallest building in Turin.
Architect Alessandro Antonelli quickly modified his original design to increase the planned height from around 66 metres to 113 metres, and he fell out with the commissioning Jewish community due to the resulting increase in costs and construction time.
La Mole Antonelliana was eventually finished in 1889, a year after Antonelli's death, the final height of 167 metres more than 100 metres higher than originally planned!
