Castel Sant’Angelo: skip the line guided tour – tiered price – Lazio, Italy

EXPERIENCE

Castel Sant’Angelo has an atypical destiny in the historical-artistic panorama of the capital.
From funerary monument to fortified outpost, from dark and terrible prison to splendid Renaissance residence which sees Michelangelo active within its walls, from Risorgimento prison to museum.
It was born as a tomb wanted by the emperor Hadrian in a peripheral area of ancient Rome and fulfilled this original function until 403 AD. From this moment a ‘second life’ began as a castellum, a bulwark advanced beyond the Tiber to protect the city.
