Saint Angel's Castle. Very interesting place, showing a piece of history. It is good that a lot has been preserved, an impressive monument . Raphael's sculpture stands guard there with dignity 😀the views from the tower are breathtaking, the idea of a cafe on the terraces, where with a cup of coffee, a glass of Aperol you can admire it all super 🤩 the exhibition dedicated in honor of John Paul II was mega impressive. There were no big queues behind the tickets, but having the opportunity to buy online you gain several minutes, which with a busy schedule of sightseeing priceless

448 / 5 000 The monumental buildings, the beautiful view that awaited us gave us eternal memories. Two small negatives are that there is no toilet at the prison where we picked up our tickets, the closest one is in the cafes between the prison and the Colosseum. The other is that it would make it easier to find your way around in the Colosseum if the stations were marked with numbers, because it is more difficult for those who go without a guide to find their way around. The entrance was quick and easy, everything went smoothly.

Went at 9:30 for our 9:45 entrance and they let us right in. There were a few people but not a ton so it was still easy to get around. The audio guide was okay. Sometimes it would tell you to go the next room before they started talking about that room other times it just started and you had to guess what they were talking about. The audio guide also stopped before we got to to the outside walls so there were some audio signs, but we didn't get to listen to anything while we were walking around the outside walls.

    We almost missed this treasure. It was our 2nd last day in Roma and we scrambled to find something for the afternoon as the rain cleared up earlier than forecast. My wife saw this castle and we booked through Headout for skip the line tickets in the afternoon and we truly skipped a huge line! How did we miss this destination in our months long planning?!! First we crossed a bridge, but not just any bridge. The Tiber river has many bridges, but oh my, this is a walking only bridge that ends in the monument itself. Ponte Sant'Angelo is amazing, with individually unique towering angels standing guard to the entrance of the Castel. Views of the Vatican nearby and the 360 panoramic views of Roma from the top terrace are as enticing as the models of the fortress, the art and artifacts contained within its walls and that mighty bronze statue of Arcangel Michael, the guardian of God's people. Don't miss this!!!

    We looked up online and it said the crowds and queues would take an hour to get through so got there early. Managed to get through the fast moving queue in about 5 minutes. Directions to the Mamertine prison were poor and there wasn't anything to really see there so wouldn't suggest but the coleseum and Palestine hill were amazing with great views.
