Destacados

Castel Sant’Angelo is a unique monument on its own. However, only with an expert, English-speaking guide, you can deeply get the understanding of the singularity of the place. The Castle, besides its multi-layered structure and complex history, is filled with frescoes, paintings and decorations from the Renaissance, when the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art occurred. The Classical values and ideas are reinterpreted under a new Christian light: the pagan elements are no more in contrast with the Christian beliefs, and are instead promoted, exalted and overlaid in this new bond where ancient and present, pagan and Christian, sacred and profane coexist in a new dimension. Castel Sant’Angelo is a magic place full of Renaissance artworks, rich in references, symbolism and fascinating tales from the antiquity, as to glorify the Pope, the Papacy and the Christian culture. Take the opportunity to grasp the true uniqueness of Castel Sant’Angelo.

Itinerario

  1. Castel Sant’Angelo was originally built as a monumental tomb for the Emperor Hadrian. Already during the Late Roman Empire it became a stronghold for its size and strategic location to the north of the city, where most of the invasions came from. It was then turned into an impregnable papal fortress during the middle ages and improved all throughout the renaissance times, featuring a large garrison, prisons and papal apartments. This castle is directly connected to the Vatican by the means of a covered passageway called “Passetto di Borgo”. The pope would use this gateway to take refuge in the Castle. The papal apartments were specifically designed to make the pope comfortable during his potential stay in the fortress. The variety of purposes and its continuity of use throughout the centuries makes Castle Sant’Angelo one of the most charming and iconic monuments of the Eternal City. By visiting this place, you can basically enjoy the whole history of Rome, all in one go.

About Roma

Roma superpone casi tres mil años de historia en una ciudad para recorrer a pie, del Coliseo y el Foro a las plazas barrocas y el arte del Vaticano.

La Roma antigua sigue a la vista. El Coliseo, el Foro Romano y el Palatino se alzan juntos en el corazón de la ciudad, el Panteón sigue en pie con su óculo abierto, y fragmentos de templos y acueductos asoman entre los bloques de viviendas. Al otro lado del Tíber, la Ciudad del Vaticano alberga la basílica de San Pedro, los Museos Vaticanos y el techo de la Capilla Sixtina pintado por Miguel Ángel.

Top-ranked sights in Roma: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
