Overview

Castel Sant'Angelo layers nearly 2,000 years of use into one structure—built as Hadrian's tomb, converted to a papal fortress, used as a prison and execution site, and connected to the Vatican by an escape corridor. Walking it without context means moving through rooms whose changing functions aren't obvious. Instead of exploring alone, an art historian guides you through the imperial and papal history for an in-depth visit.
