GENERAL INFORMATION

Known as the Vittoriano, or the Wedding Cake, the Altare (Altar of the Fatherland) is the largest national monument in Italy and located in the very center of Rome’s centro storico.

Insider Tip

The monument itself is awesome, by the very definition of the word, with incredible art work and lavish marble, but the key is to the second floor for entrance to the glass elevator that will take you to the Terrazza delle Quadrighe, the panoramic terrace which overlooks the entire city.
