• Castel Sant’Angelo - The monument was built by emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) together with the Aelius bridge in front of it to become a mausoleum for himself and for his successors.
  In the course of centuries it became the defensive rampart of the Vatican City, the site of a garrison, a prison, but also the offices of the Vatican Treasury and Archive.
  Today the interior of the castle can be visited with its seventeenth century rich frescoed halls (Hall of Apollo, Hall of Paolina decorated with the Stories of Alexander the Great, Hall of Perseus with episode of the myth of the Greek hero, Room of Amore and Psiche), the prisons, the collection of antique arms, the painting gallery (with works by Carlo Crivelli, Luca Signorelli, and Dosso Dossi), the collection of ancient marbles, ceramics, and sculptures.
  The terrace offers one of the best panoramic views of the Historical Center.

Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) constructed the monument along with the Aelius bridge before it, intending it to serve as a mausoleum for him and his future successors. As years passed, it transitioned into the defensive barrier of the Vatican City, eventually hosting a military garrison, functioning as a prison, and housing the Vatican Treasury and Archive offices. Currently, visitors can tour the castle’s interior, replete with its seventeenth-century lavishly frescoed chambers (Apollo Hall, Paolina Hall adorned with the Tales of Alexander the Great, Perseus Hall with segments of the Greek hero myth, Room of Amore and Psiche), the dungeons, the collection of vintage weaponry, the art repository (featuring creations by Carlo Crivelli, Luca Signorelli, and Dosso Dossi), the collection of historic marbles, ceramics, and statues. The terrace provides an unsurpassed panoramic view of the Historical Center.
