Castel Sant’Angelo es un monumento único en sí mismo. Sin embargo, solo con un guía experto de habla inglesa, puede comprender profundamente la singularidad del lugar. El castillo, además de su estructura de múltiples capas y su compleja historia, está lleno de frescos, pinturas y decoraciones del Renacimiento, cuando se produjo el redescubrimiento de la filosofía clásica, la literatura y el arte. Los valores y las ideas clásicas se reinterpretan bajo una nueva luz cristiana: los elementos paganos ya no están en contraste con las creencias cristianas, sino que se promueven, exaltan y superponen en este nuevo vínculo donde lo antiguo y lo presente, lo pagano y cristiano, lo sagrado y lo profano conviven en una nueva dimensión. Castel Sant’Angelo es un lugar mágico lleno de obras de arte del Renacimiento, rico en referencias, simbolismo y fascinantes cuentos de la antigüedad, para glorificar al Papa, el Papado y la cultura cristiana. Aproveche la oportunidad de comprender la verdadera singularidad de Castel Sant’Angelo.
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.
