The Altare della Patria
The Altare della Patria is a monumental complex that honors Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of unified Italy. It was built between 1885 and 1925 by Giuseppe Sacconi and other architects, following a neoclassical style. The complex consists of a large white marble building with columns, statues, fountains, and a central equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II. The complex also houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a symbol of Italy’s sacrifice in World War I. The complex offers panoramic views of Rome from its terraces and museum.
