Description

Join a professional guide to discover areas of the Castel Sant'Angelo that aren’t normally accessible to the public. Learn about the fascinating history of the fortress as you explore exclusive areas like the Olearie, the historical prisons, and the theater of Clemente VII.

Use your skip-the-line entry ticket to save time and begin your guided tour of the famous castle erected by the Roman emperor Hadrian as his tomb. Uncover how the building has served as a private residence to popes, a treasury of the state, a prison, and a public execution site.

Discover the rich history behind the castle and marvel at its magnificent sculptures and paintings. See the burial place of the late emperor, the pope’s apartment, and the treasury room.

Finally, enjoy the panoramic views of the city from the castle's terrace. Choose to add a traditional aperitivo in a bar nearby after the tour to complement your experience.
