About
Castel Sant'Angelo is one of Rome's most iconic landmarks, offering a blend of history, architecture, and panoramic views.
Originally built as a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 139 AD, Castel Sant'Angelo has served various purposes over the centuries, including as a fortress, papal residence, and now a museum.
It was transformed into a fortress by the popes during the Middle Ages and became a key defensive structure for the city.
