Description

Altare della Patria The monument, the largest in Rome, was controversial since its construction destroyed a large area of the Capitoline Hill with a Medieval neighbourhood for its sake. The monument itself is often regarded as conspicuous,pompous and too large.

It has been described as being "chopped with terrible brutality into the immensely complicated fabric of the hill."[8] The structure is not designed in a "Roman" style, but is a mingling of Greek and Teutonic styles, with inspiration drawn from the German architect Leo von Klenze.
