Guided tour
Alles was goed geregeld, de gids Donatella wist heel veel van de locatie en sprak goed Engels. Prachtig uitzicht vanaf de top over Rome en op de Sint Pieterskoepel. Veel geleerd over de historie van het gebouw.
Explore one of the Eternal City's most emblematic attractions. Leave your guidebook at home and step into the history of the Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as Castel Sant'Angelo. Don’t miss the chance to visit the Tomb of the Roman emperor Hadrian (also known as Hadrian's Mole).
You'll learn about the ancient legend of Archangel Michael appearing atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword and signalling the end of the plague of 590, thus lending the castle its present name.
Feast your eyes on the magnificent frescoes, Papal apartments, and corridors of the castle. You'll also be able to admire beautiful sculptures of angels by Bernini, Raggi and Morelli.
