As you traverse the bridge connecting the Ponte and Borgo districts, you'll be transported back in time, imagining the legions and pilgrims who once walked this very path.
Castel Sant'Angelo
Discover Castel Sant'Angelo, a towering cylindrical fortress with a rich and layered history. Initially conceived as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, it later served as a papal residence and stronghold, witnessing pivotal moments in Rome's past.

Immerse yourself in the stories of emperors, popes, and artists who have shaped this iconic landmark, making it a must-see destination for history buffs and art enthusiasts alike.
Castel Sant'Angelo Museum
Delve into the captivating history of Castel Sant'Angelo at its museum, housed within the fortress's ancient walls. Journey through four distinct sections that unveil the monument's transformation from imperial mausoleum to papal residence and, eventually, a museum.
