Landmark building in Turin

Introduction

The Turin Tower is a landmark building located in Turin, Italy, and is also one of the design inspirations for the 2 euro cent coin in Italy. The tower was initially built to celebrate the founding of the capital of Italy in Turin, but it was completed only after the government moved to Florence. The tower is a representative work of Italian industrial architecture, with a steel structure giving a majestic atmosphere. Today, the Turin Tower is the location of the Italian National Film Museum, tracing the history of the Italian film industry and displaying various film memorabilia. Visitors can take a panoramic elevator to the observation deck to enjoy a 360-degree magnificent view and feel the wonderful sensation of "floating" in space. The Turin Tower is a stunning tourist destination and cannot be missed.
