This historical building, wanted by the Emperor Hadrian as a tomb for himself and his family, became a military fortress during the medieval ages. It was also once used as the Pope’s refuge in the event of an emergency, thanks to the corridor that connects the Castle to the Vatican. The Castle then became a prison and a State Treasury as well.

  2. Pantheon

It was the world's largest dome for centuries, and today it remains the largest unsupported dome in the world. It was the first pagan temple to be transformed into a church, and therefore it was saved from being destroyed throughout the ages.

When it became a public place, many examples of baroque architecture and artwork were added, such as the Pamphili Palace, the church of Saint’Agnes, the three lavish fountains and the obelisk in the center of the square, which came from Egypt. Kids will love this place, it’s such a great family-friendly pedestrian area and Alessandra will help you to get the most out of this square!
