Castel Sant'Angelo

Castle Rome, Italy

Powerful guardian of the most sacred place in the city Castel Sant'Angelo

Imposing, suggestive, full of charm and history, Castel Sant'Angelo is one of the most loved and visited symbolic monuments of Rome.

Not far from the basilica of San Pietro, at the end of Ponte Sant'Angelo, on the right bank of the Tiber stands the imposing Castel Sant'Angelo. The Mausoleum, wanted and probably designed by Hadrian as a tomb for himself and his successors, was initially built by the architect Demetrianus around 123 and finished a year after the emperor's death by Antoninus Pius. Since 1925 it has been the seat of the National Museum of Castel S. Angelo and houses collections of art and history as well as relics of the Italian Army in a monumental setting restored for the occasion.
