With skip-the-line entrance tickets and an expert guide, embark on a journey back to 138 AD when the Castel was initially constructed as a funeral monument for Emperor Hadrian. Visitors can still explore the mausoleum dedicated to him. Delve into the Treasury room deep within the castle, where it is believed his ashes were originally placed before the 5th-century sacking of Rome.

As you navigate through the castle, visit the frescoed Papal apartments. Learn about the lives of the popes and cardinals who resided here, such as the Borgia, and others who sought refuge during times of crisis.

Stand in a torture chamber in the courtyard where numerous executions took place, and discover the famous Passeto Secreto - the ‘secret passageway’ that directly connects the castle with the Vatican, which inspired Dan Brown’s book Angels and Demons.

Finally, enjoy breathtaking views of the city from the top of the monument where Archangel Michael stands, armed with a sword, guarding the city.
