Is Altare della Patria Terrace worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Altare della Patria Terrace works.

The view is the product: a panoramic glass elevator lifts you to a 360° terrace looking straight down the Forum and across the domes of Rome. The monument below is bombastic and divisive, but everyone agrees the rooftop is one of the best paid views in the city.
