Castel Sant'Angelo tour, with Priority Entrance
Explore one of the most iconic attractions of the Eternal City. Leave your guidebook behind and immerse yourself in the history of the Mausoleum of Hadrian, commonly known as Castel Sant’Angelo. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the tomb of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (also known as “Hadrian’s Tomb”). You will also discover the ancient legend of the Archangel Michael, who is said to have appeared atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword and signaling the end of the plague of 590, thus giving the castle its current name. Feast your eyes on the magnificent frescoes, the papal apartments, and the corridors of the castle. You’ll also have the chance to admire beautiful angel sculptures by Bernini, Raggi, and Morelli.
