  We present the discovery of a large scale radio structure associated with IGR
J17488--2338, a source recently discovered by \emph{INTEGRAL} and optically
identified as a broad line AGN at redshift 0.24. At low frequencies, the source
properties are those of an intermediate-power FR II radio galaxy with a linear
size of 1.4\,Mpc. This new active galaxy is therefore a member of a class of
objects called Giant Radio Galaxies (GRGs), a rare type of radio galaxies with
physical sizes larger than 0.7\,Mpc; they represent the largest and most
energetic single entities in the Universe and are useful laboratories for many
astrophysical studies. Their large scale structures could be due either to
special external conditions or to uncommon internal properties of the source
central engine The AGN at the centre of IGR J17488--2338 has a black hole of
1.3$\times$10$^9$ solar masses, a bolometric luminosity of
7$\times$10$^{46}$erg\,s$^{-1}$ and an Eddington ratio of 0.3, suggesting that
it is powerful enough to produce the large structure observed in radio. The
source is remarkable also for other properties, among which its X-ray
absorption, at odds with its type 1 classification, and the presence of a
strong iron line which is a feature not often observed in radio galaxies.
