Fiat Tagliero, Asmara, Eritrea 

A futurist departure from the art deco standard that defines most of the notable Italian-era buildings in Asmara, this former petrol station was constructed in the late 1930s to resemble an airplane and may be the single most-photographed structure in the city. It’s on the northwestern side of the large intersection at Sematat Ave and Mereb St.
