Monument built to honour the first king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel II. It looks magnificent and powerful. Like a true leader, wielding a sword and riding a horse into victory. riposare in pace

Beautiful monument and surrounding wide walk/plaza running along the southern entrance to the Grand Canal. It can be a crush of people but first thing in the morning can be breathtaking for sunrise with gondolas all lined up in their slips waiting for the day. Also one of the major water bus and taxi stops so it makes a good landmark.

The statue has been built as a memorial for the first King of Italy. The statue saying, Welcome to the beauty of the floating city Venice

Walk through the shore from Saint Marco Square, away from the crowds to see the monument. It's an amazing walk to take during sunset.

An imposing statue of Emmanuel astride his horse on the waterfront near Piazza San Marco. A shame about all the tatty market stalls along the front too

The Victor Emmanuel II National Monument (Italian: Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II), also known as Vittoriano or Altare della Patria ("Altar of the Fatherland"), is a large national monument built between 1885 and 1935 to honour Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy, in Rome, Italy. It occupies a site between the Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline Hill. The monument was realized by Giuseppe Sacconi. From an architectural perspective, it was conceived as a modern forum, an agora on three levels connected by stairways and dominated by a portico characterized by a colonnade. The complex process of national unity and liberation from foreign domination carried out by King Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, to whom the monument is dedicated, has a great symbolic and representative value, being architecturally and artistically centred on the Italian unification—for this reason the Vittoriano is considered one of the national symbols of Italy.

A beautiful monument on the pedestrian path with the iconic Venice buildings on one side and the sea on the other. The plaza around the monument is surrounded by a bunch of souvenir shops and very crowded during the peak season.

Beautiful monument for Vittorio Emanuel ii, on the San Marco pier

Nice spot to try your new camera. Zoom, light, picture framing. By the way, the statue and the area are gorgeous.

I liked the monument but I couldn’t find any sign to read what it was for so I had to google when I came back home. It is not very welcoming for tourists who let’s face it are the number 1 viditors of this town.

The size, scale and scope of this monument is a must see in Rome

Good monument

Good sculptor's work, worth to see.
