A beautiful and suggestive evening view of Piazza Venezia with a large Christmas tree placed in the center of the square, in the historic center of Rome. In the background the imposing Altare della Patria National Monument. The Altare della Patria or Vittoriano is the Italian National Monument built in 1885 in neoclassical style between the Capitoline Hill or Campidoglio (Roman Capitol) and Piazza Venezia in honor of the first king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II. Inside is the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a National War Memorial dedicated to all Italian soldiers who died in the war. Every year the Altare della Patria is the setting for all Italian civic celebrations, in particular the National Day of the Republic on 2 June and the Liberation Day on 25 April. Piazza Venezia is considered the heart of the Eternal City, with the confluence of some of the most important streets of the Italian capital and its proximity to the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and the Campidoglio (Roman Capitol). In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Image in high definition format. Discovery | City | Cityscape | History | Architecture
