Piazza Venezia

Not very far from the Roman Forum, at the end of Via dei Fori Imperiali, stands Piazza Venezia, one of the main squares of Rome.
From here, you can leave towards the main tourist attractions of the historic center.
The most distinguishing feature of the square is the Vittorio Emanuele monument also called ""Altare della Patria"" or ""Vittoriano"", an enormous white marble building dedicated to the first king of Italy.
From the roof of the Vittoriano you can enjoy an extraordinary panoramic view of the entire city.
You can reach the top with a glass elevator on the back of the building, booking th tickets in advance.
Before leaving Piazza Venezia to head towards the attractions of the historic center, remember to admire the famous Traian's column, right near to the square, characterized by bass-reliefs which trace the military conquests of the emperor.
