Discover the wonders of Castel Sant’Angelo with a convenient skip-the-line ticket and assisted entry. Originally built by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family, this imposing monument has lived many lives: fortress, papal residence, prison, and now one of Rome’s most iconic museums. Step inside and walk along the ancient spiral ramp that winds through centuries of history. Explore grand halls adorned with Renaissance frescoes, admire weapons and artifacts from different eras, and climb up to the rooftop terrace.
