Visit one of the most iconic landmarks in Rome, Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II. Located in the Piazza Venezia, the monument was erected in the late 19th century to honor the first king of unified Italy. The largest monument ever created out of Botticino white marble, it features Corinthian columns, a grand staircase, and several important sculptures. Admire the equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II that stands in the center. Visit the museum of Italian Unification in the base of the structure. You can take the elevator to the top of the monument for 360-degree views of the city.

As I remember well, there is a 24-hour guard of honor on the memorial staircase. The building also houses several state institutions, including a library, archives, an institute of history and a museum of the Italian National Liberation Movement.

To reach the higher level a 10 euro lift is available, but view is already fine even at mid high. The Vittoriano is a neoclassical version of the Roman Forum. Main symbol of a united Italy. In its middle stands high the king Victor Emmanuel II, father of the Fatherland ( the other main three are: Cavour, Garibaldi and Mazzini). Various vegetable symbols are displayed on the monument to celebrate the patriotic fight: Myrtle, for Sacrifice Oak, for Strength. Palm, for Victory Laurel, for Victorious Peace Olive Tree, for Concord.
