The awful gasometer transformed into the most glorious of cathedrals.

In Amsterdam, the “Vespers” were staged in the Gashouder — a massive, cylindrical former gasometer that now serves as a cultural venue and a nightclub.

The Ostiense neighbourhood, right on the Tiber river, was once the site of a power station, a restless river port and a gasometer, whose skeleton still looms.

Everywhere you look you will see one of the huge gasometers that have been a constant feature of the cityscape for almost 20 years now.

As their name suggests, gasholders - also sometimes known as gasometers - were used to store large volumes of gas.
