Rome, Italy – Christmas Day – Altare della Patria – Alter Of The Fatherland

As we walked along Via dei Fori Imperiali, a road in the centre of the city that is a straight line from the Colosseum to the Piazza Venezia.

Along the way we came across Alter of the Fatherland.

According to Google’s CoPilot:

The Altar of the Fatherland, also known as the Vittoriano, is a monumental tribute to King Victor Emmanuel II, symbolizing the unification of Italy and located in the heart of Rome.
