Step back through 2,000 years of Roman history with a ticket entrance to the iconic Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a grand mausoleum, this fortress has evolved from a Roman tomb into a high-security Papal prison and a luxurious Renaissance palace.
Admire the legendary Passetto di Borgo—the elevated corridor used by Popes to flee the Vatican in times of peril—and descend into the chilling depths of the historic prisons. Your self-guided journey takes you through the opulent Papal Apartments and up the ancient Spiral Staircase to the Hall of Ashes. The experience culminates on the Angel’s Terrace, offering one of the most famous panoramic views of the Tiber River and St. Peter’s Basilica.
