Ironically, Romans rarely admire this massive structure, which is regarded as one of the country’s icons; instead, they compare it to a wedding cake or a gigantic typewriter. It is a monument to King Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of the united Italy, who is shown here in an equestrian statue, and was constructed between 1885 and 1935. Here is where the Italian Unification Museum and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are located. You can access the highest deck via elevator for a 360-degree panorama of Rome.
