Discover the fascinating story of Castel Sant’Angelo, one of Rome’s most unique and multi-layered landmarks.
Originally built as a monumental mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian, this imposing structure has transformed over the centuries into a fortress, papal residence, prison, and museum.

As you explore its winding ramps, ancient halls, and richly decorated papal apartments, you’ll journey through nearly 2,000 years of Roman history. Learn about secret escape routes such as the Passetto di Borgo, once used by popes to flee Vatican City during times of danger.

The experience culminates on the spectacular rooftop terrace, crowned by the iconic bronze statue of the Archangel Michael. From here, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Tiber River, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the historic skyline of Rome.

Blending history, architecture, legends, and unforgettable views, Castel Sant’Angelo is an essential stop for anyone wanting to experience Rome beyond the classics.
