With priority tickets in hand, you can walk straight into Castel Sant’Angelo without the hassle of waiting, ready to dive into nearly 2000 years of history. Originally built as the Mausoleum of Hadrian, the fortress has seen many lives, from housing popes and noble families to serving as a prison with its courtyard once used for executions.  Discover the castle’s rich history, from its origins as the Mausoleum of Hadrian to its transformation into an iconic landmark.
Guided by your own digital audio companion, you’ll hear the castle’s story unfold through 18 fascinating points of interest, including the legend of Archangel Michael ending the plague of 590 at the top of the mausoleum.
