Rome, Il Vittoriano/Altare della Patria

Built in the XIX century (1885) in neoclassical style, it is huge and commands attention with its large size, blinding white colors and the statues of winged Nike on the top: a vision, against the Rome blue sky!
The monument was built to celebrate Vittorio Emanuele King of Italy (hence the name ‘Vittoriano’) and it is also known as Altare della Patria, homeland altar.
Today it has a monument to the unknown soldier, constantly guarded by the Italian military, and is hosts the museums of the Risorgimento and a beautiful art space, which usually hosts high caliber art exhibitions.
