Piazza Venezia
Situated at the center of the city, this piazza is teeming with continual traffic, because the main arteries of the city converge here.
The grandiose Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II (also known as the Altar of Patriotism), erected between 1885 and 1911 by Giuseppe Sacconi to glorify the first king of Italy, is at the center of the piazza. At the base of the monument is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, by Zanelli.
Nearby is the Venetian Palace (see chart), which, together with the ancient church of San Marco (fourth century) and the Venetian Palazzetto, forms a vast architectural complex.
