Castel Sant’Angelo, originally commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum, is a fortress brimming with history, located on the banks of the Tiber River. Over the centuries, it served as a papal residence, prison, and treasury, and it’s linked to Vatican City by the fortified Passetto di Borgo. From its imposing ramparts and spiral ramp to its beautifully frescoed papal apartments, every corner unveils layers of Roman intrigue. Explore secret passages, pause at the museum exhibits, and savor unparalleled views of St. Peter’s Basilica from the rooftop terrace. Its storied past and visionary architecture make it a must-see landmark.
