Description
Experience the intrigue of Rome on a private or shared tour of Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Hadrian’s Mausoleum. Benefit from pre-booked entry (standard ticket price: €16) and immerse yourself in the rich history and hidden symbolism of this iconic landmark. Discover the secrets woven into the stunning frescoes and statues, revealing the darker, more mysterious side of Rome’s past.
Take a journey back in time and travel through the history of Castel Sant'Angelo from its original function as a dynastic mausoleum to its later role as a fortress of the Popes.
