Steeped in history, Castillo de Sant’Angelo used to be a mausoleum, fortress, castle, and even a prison. Nowadays, it serves as a museum and features an extensive collection of paintings, medieval weapons, and sculptures. Don’t miss the beautiful Ponte Sant’Angelo, the ancient bridge built in 134 AD by the Emperor Hadrian to connect his mausoleum to the center of Rome.
Castel Sant'Angelo is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Rome.
