Rome Pre-Reserved Shared or Private Tour Castel Sant'Angelo

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.

See the secret passage that connects the castle with the Vatican and visit the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. Walk through the papal corridors and rooms and be amazed by the Gran Loggia of Paul III. Marvel at the grotesque motifs and at the illusionistic trompe-l'oeil painting.

End your tour in the upper terrace, from where you can soak in one of the best panoramic views of Rome.
