(Roma, Via Portuense, Corviale, image by Google Earth)
The Corviale building is another member of the "longest buildings" family: A linear city (built between 1972 and 1982) - containing about 1200 flats on 10 floors, with 21 entrances and 74 lifts – designed by Mario Fiorentino.
Organized as two linear buildings placed back-to-back along a series of long narrow courtyards, parking, tenant storage and the elevator lobbies are located in the flared base of the slab, a zone expressed by the metal sloping roofs over this part of the building. (source: housingprototypes)

There's a very good recent film on Corviale:
IL PALAZZO by Katharina Copony
http://viennale.at/cgi-bin/viennale/archiv/film.pl?id=2020&lang=de
Longest building in Poland
# 11 floors
# over 4000 lodgers
# 4 segments with 4 entrances and about 110 flats in each of them
# long about 850 metres
How long is the longest one? More than 4.5 KM?
