The Altare della Patria, officially known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II and simply called the Vittoriano by Romans, is Italy\u2019s national monument. There is no admission fee: the monument, terraces, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are open to the public free of charge; only the glass panoramic elevator to the roof costs \u20ac18.00.<\/p>\n<p>Hardly any of the major <a href=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/en\/travel\/lazio\/rome\/sights-in-rome\/\">Places of interest in Rome<\/a> It divides opinion just as reliably as this colossal monument between the Capitol and Piazza Venezia. Here you\u2019ll find everything you need to know for your visit to the Altare della Patria: prices, hours, the history behind the monument, the view from the panoramic terrace, and how to get there through the city\u2019s largest construction site.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E9DF;

Two international competitions were held. The first, in 1880, was won by the Frenchman Henri-Paul N\u00e9not, but his design was never built. In the second competition, held in 1882, the young Italian architect Giuseppe Sacconi prevailed.<\/p>\n<p>On March 22, 1885, work began on the slope of the Capitoline Hill, and it continued for over half a century. Sacconi died in 1905 without seeing his work completed; the architects Gaetano Koch, Pio Piacentini, and Manfredo Manfredi continued the construction. The monument was dedicated on June 4, 1911, just in time for the 50th anniversary of unification, under King Vittorio Emanuele III. It was not fully completed until the 1930s: the final work was finished in 1935.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"The bronze equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II with the Italian flag at the Altare della Patria\" title=\"Altare della Patria \u2013 Equestrian Statue and the Tricolor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Equestrian statue and the French tricolor at the Altare della Patria \u00b7 \u00a9 canva.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-kicker\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #5f7355; margin: 0 0 12px;\">ARCHITECTURE<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weiser_Marmor_aus_Brescia_die_Architektur_des_Vittoriano\"><\/span>White Marble from Brescia: The Architecture of the Vittoriano<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"inw-hr\" style=\"width: 34px; height: 2px; border: 0; background: #5F7355; margin: 0 0 20px;\" \/>\n<p>The Vittoriano measures 81 meters from Piazza Venezia to the quadrigas on the Propylaea, the two colonnades at the top. Although Roman travertine was originally planned, it was ultimately built using Botticino, a brilliantly white limestone from the province of Brescia. It is precisely this white color that continues to distinguish the building from everything around it to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1927, two bronze four-horse chariots have been soaring toward the sky atop the two Propylaea: the Quadriga dell\u2019Unit\u00e0 by Carlo Fontana, a sculptor from Carrara, and the Quadriga della Libert\u00e0 by Paolo Bartolini. Fontana\u2019s goddess of victory carries a shield bearing a quote from Livy <i>Here we will stay for the best of times<\/i>: We'll stay here\u2014it doesn't get any better than this.

This altar was designed by the sculptor Angelo Zanelli, who won the competition for it in 1906.<\/p>\n<p>The soldier was laid to rest on November 4, 1921. He had been chosen by Maria Bergamas of Trieste, the mother of a fallen and never-identified soldier: In the Basilica of Aquileia in Friuli, she selected one from among eleven coffins of unknown soldiers who had fallen in World War I. Eternal flames burn before the grave; the honor guard stands watch day and night, and you can see the changing of the guard every hour.<\/p>\n<p>Three times a year, the terrace becomes a national stage: On April 25, June 2, and November 4, the President lays a wreath here in honor of the fallen; on Republic Day, a military parade follows along the Via dei Fori Imperiali.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"The Vittoriano, illuminated at night, as seen from Piazza Venezia\" title=\"Vittoriano \u2013 illuminated at night\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-7-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">The Vittoriano illuminated at night \u00b7 \u00a9 canva.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-kicker\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #5f7355; margin: 0 0 12px;\">STATUE OF A HORSE RIDER<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_Reiterstatue_und_das_Bankett_im_Pferdebauch\"><\/span>The Equestrian Statue and the Banquet Inside the Horse's Belly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"inw-hr\" style=\"width: 34px; height: 2px; border: 0; background: #5F7355; margin: 0 0 20px;\" \/>\n<p>Above the altar stands the king himself: the bronze equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II by Enrico Chiaradia.

The building is too white, too big, and too loud for a city whose beauty lies in brick, travertine, and patina, critics have said since its inauguration.<\/p>\n<p>The second criticism is more serious. To make way for the monument, a large section of medieval Rome on the slope of the Capitoline Hill was demolished, including the towers of Pope Paul IV and the cloister of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, the church right next to the current monument. Good to know: This debate is part of the visit\u2014not a reason to skip it. Precisely because the Vittoriano seems so out of step with the times, it tells us more about Italy\u2019s path to nationhood than many a museum, and you\u2019ll find the best way to come to terms with the building up on its terrace, where you can no longer see it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Lightning in the night sky above the Vittoriano in Piazza Venezia\" title=\"Vittoriano \u2013 Thunderstorm over Piazza Venezia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Piazza-Venezia-Rom-Italien-Foto-\u00a9-Italien.expert-by-Canva.com-3-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Thunderstorm sky over the National Monument \u00b7 \u00a9 canva.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-kicker\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #5f7355; margin: 0 0 12px;\">MUSEUM<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Museum_im_Denkmal_das_Museo_Centrale_del_Risorgimento\"><\/span>A Museum in a Historic Building: the Museo Centrale del Risorgimento<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"inw-hr\" style=\"width: 34px; height: 2px; border: 0; background: #5F7355; margin: 0 0 20px;\" \/>\n<p>Inside the Vittoriano is a museum: The Museo Centrale del Risorgimento chronicles the Italian unification movement from the uprisings through World War I and is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., with last admission at 6:45 p.m. Admission is included in the same ticket as the panoramic terrace.<\/p>\n<p>The complex is operated by the state museum institute VIVE \u2013 Vittoriano e Palazzo Venezia, which also hosts rotating art exhibitions in the Ala Brasini exhibition wing.
