Lingotto

Lingotto is a historic building in Turin, Italy, originally designed as a large automobile manufacturing plant for Fiat in the early 20th century. Its most distinctive feature is a multi-story rooftop test track that spirals around the factory, allowing cars to be tested safely at height. Today, Lingotto has been transformed into a mixed-use complex, housing a shopping mall, conference centers, a hotel, and cultural spaces, while preserving its industrial heritage. This innovative adaptive reuse makes Lingotto a notable example of blending historical architecture with modern urban development.
