Discover the wonders of Castel Sant’Angelo with a convenient skip-the-line ticket and assisted entry. Originally built by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family, this imposing monument has lived many lives: fortress, papal residence, prison, and now one of Rome’s most iconic museums. Step inside and walk along the ancient spiral ramp that winds through centuries of history. Explore grand halls adorned with Renaissance frescoes, admire weapons and artifacts from different eras, and climb up to the rooftop terrace. From here, you’ll enjoy some of the most spectacular panoramic views of Rome and St. Peter’s Basilica, a sight not to be missed during your stay in the Eternal City.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
