Built in the second half of the 1400s, dedicated to the Venetian representation at the Papal State. The Palace is also remembered for the notorious speeches that Benito Mussolini used to make from the balcony to the Italian people during the Second World War. Another monumental building is the Palazzo Bonaparte, where Napoleon Bonaparte's mother lived and died and last but not least is the gigantic Altare della Patria or better known as the National Monument Vittorio Emanuele II or Vittoriano. One of the most sublime monuments of the city, the bronze horse that stands in front of the palace is so large that King Vittorio Emanuele II and the architect, before closing the belly, dined inside the horse to inaugurate the palace. Next to the Vittoriano there is the Capitoline Hill, one of the seven Roman Hills, on top of which are the Capitoline museums, which contain part of the artistic heritage left to us by the Romans.
Hours: 9.30am/7.30pm
