Rome Castel Sant'Angelo Guided Tour

Close to the Vatican City is the Castel Sant'Angelo. Thanks to this 2-hour guided tour, you will be able to learn all about its history over almost 20 centuries since its construction. In addition, the tour will be more enjoyable because this tour is designed for small groups of about 20 people.

This tour also includes access to the castle's terrace. From this point, you will have a panoramic view of the whole city.

Originally, this Castel Sant'Angelo was built to house the tomb of Emperor Hadrian, which is still inside, in the 2nd century AD. However, throughout history it has been used for various purposes. From being part of the walls of Rome, to being the site of public executions, the private residence of the Pope, or even a prison.

However, not all its interest is focused on the history of the building, but also on the rooms, works and sculptures inside it. Highlights include the frescoes in the luxurious Sala Paolina, the Pope's rooms and the treasure room full of cupboards and chests.

With this visit you can simply let yourself be carried away by the incredible stories and anecdotes hidden in this castle. These will be explained to you in a pleasant and simple way by your tour guide, to whom you will also be able to ask any questions you may have.
