Overview

On this guided tour, you will get the opportunity to explore the beautiful and historic Castel Sant'Angelo. Your journey will begin with a visit to the ancient St. Angelo Bridge, which was completed in 134 CE and has stunning angel statues by Bernini, Raggi, and Morelli. Castel Sant'Angelo has stood guard over the Tiber for for 2,000 years, first as a symbol of Rome's imperial authority, then as a papal fortress. That was the Antonine emperors' burial place until Caracalla, and it was originally the mausoleum of the Roman emperor Hadrian.
The fort is built in the shape of a circle encircled by a square, with each corner of the square covered by an individually constructed barbican, or outwork, and the central circle containing halls, chapels, residences, gardens, and other amenities. Our guide will take you on a tour of the castle's beautiful halls, conserved artworks, and Papal apartments while explaining the castle's history.
