Two-hour visit Castel Sant'Angelo Two-hour visit Castel Sant'Angelo

Castel Sant'Angelo is a unique medieval fortress based on the ancient mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian. Over the centuries it has undergone various transformations: from a fortress to a prison, and finally to housing the Pope, becoming a residence in its own right. The beauty of the papal flats leaves one breathless and the Renaissance frescoes are no less fascinating than those of the Borgia pope in the Vatican Museums. It is worth entering Castel Sant'Angelo if only to admire the splendid views of Rome and the panoramic terrace overlooking the city!
