Overview

Discover the historic Castel Sant’Angelo, originally built as the Mausoleum of Hadrian in the heart of Parco Adriano, Rome. Explore its five fascinating floors, home to an impressive collection of weapons and Renaissance frescoes. Uncover the castle’s origins, commissioned by Emperor Hadrian between 135 and 139 AD, and learn how it evolved into a powerful fortress under the Papal State, protecting popes from the 14th century onward. Hear the dramatic stories of prisoners held within its walls and their often tragic fates. Admire the beautifully decorated papal baths of Leo X and Clement VII, and take in breathtaking panoramic views of Rome from the castle’s famous terrace. With flexible entry, visit at your own pace and experience history like never before.
