    Visit Rome’s Castel Sant'Angelo and discover the building that was constructed to hold the tomb of Emperor Hadrian and his family members. Over the years it passed to the hands of the Popes, which is why there is a secret passageway that connects to St Peter's Basilica. Now it is a museum and home to art, weapons and history.
