À propos de cette activité
Lors de cette visite guidée, vous aurez l'occasion d'explorer le magnifique et historique Castel Sant'Angelo. Votre voyage commencera par une visite de l'ancien pont Saint-Ange, qui a été achevé en 134 de notre ère et abrite de superbes statues d'anges de Bernini, Raggi et Morelli. Castel Sant'Angelo a gardé le Tibre pendant 2 000 ans, d'abord comme symbole de l'autorité impériale de Rome, puis comme forteresse papale. C'était le lieu de sépulture des empereurs antonins jusqu'à Caracalla, et c'était à l'origine le mausolée de l'empereur romain Hadrien.
Le fort est construit sous la forme d'un cercle entouré d'un carré, chaque coin du carré étant couvert par une barbacane construite individuellement, ou outwork, et le cercle central contenant des salles, des chapelles, des résidences, des jardins et d'autres commodités. Notre guide vous fera visiter les magnifiques salles du château, les œuvres d'art conservées et les appartements papaux tout en vous expliquant l'histoire du château.

Sant'Angelo Bridge
Your journey will begin with a visit to the ancient St. Angelo Bridge, which was completed in 134 CE and has exquisite angel statues by Bernini, Raggi, and Morelli. For over 2,000 years, Castel Sant' Angelo has stood guard over the Tiber, first as a symbol of imperial Rome and then as a papal fortification. That was the Antonine emperors' burial place until Caracalla, and it was originally the mausoleum of the Roman emperor Hadrian.
Following a quick overview of the area and the Castel from the outside, you will enter the castle and hear about the Passetto di Borgo, a tiny elevated passage that connects the Castel to the Vatican and was featured in Dan Brown's Angels & Demons (closed to the public). Our guide will take you on a tour of the castle's beautiful halls, conserved artworks, and Papal apartments while explaining the castle's history.
When you reach the fortress's summit, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of Rome.
