Altare della Patria

The Victor Emmanuel II National Monument (Vittoriano), also known as the Altare della Patria, is a large neoclassical national monument in Rome built between 1885 and 1935 to honour Italy's first king. The complex is a multi-level forum-like monument of broad stairways, terraces, a colonnaded portico, an equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II and twin quadrigae on the roof, and houses the museum of Italian unification and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

As it stood in 1935

The shape it held in its prime.

A vast white-marble neoclassical complex rising on the northern slope of the Capitoline Hill: a broad, stepped entrance leads to layered terraces, a central equestrian statue on a raised plinth, a high portico with a long Corinthian colonnade and twin propylaea, and two bronze quadrigae with winged Victories crowning the roofline; extensive bas-relief friezes, allegorical statuary and tall flagpoles punctuate the symmetrical façade, with sweeping staircases and terraces designed for public procession and viewing.
