| | Mole Antonelliana, Turin |
 | | From Piazza Castello the arcaded Via Po runs southeast, passing close to the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti (collection of pictures), to the Piazza Vittorio Veneto, a square in Neo- Classical style on the banks of the Po (1830). |
 | | A short distance north of Via Po, in the Via Montebello, rises the huge Mole Antonelliana, begun by Alessandro Antonelli in 1863 as a synagogue, with a tall spire added in 1878-80 (167m/551ft high, with a lift to 85m/281ft; fine views from the top). |
 | | Inside the Mole Antonelliana is the National Museum of Cinema, with collections related to the history of photography and cinema. |
