Join this guided tour to explore the magnificent and historic Castel Sant’Angelo. The adventure begins with a visit to the ancient St. Angelo Bridge, completed in 134 CE, adorned with stunning angel statues by Bernini, Raggi, and Morelli. Castel Sant’Angelo has watched over the Tiber for 2,000 years, initially as a symbol of Rome’s imperial power and later as a papal fortress.

The fortress is designed in a circular shape surrounded by a square, with each corner of the square featuring a uniquely constructed barbican, or outwork.
