Castel Sant'Angelo
Perched on the banks of the Tiber River, Castel Sant'Angelo is one of Rome's most striking landmarks. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, it was later transformed into a papal fortress, prison, and refuge, connected to the Vatican by a secret passageway known as the Passetto di Borgo. Today, visitors can explore centuries of history layered within its walls — from ancient Roman foundations and Renaissance frescoed apartments to military archives and papal treasures. Climbing to the terrace rewards visitors with one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Rome, overlooking the Tiber, St. Peter's Basilica, and the city's rooftops. A blend of art, history, and breathtaking views, Castel Sant'Angelo is a must-visit stop for anyone exploring the heart of Rome.
