Mausoleum-turned-museum

Located on the right bank of the Tiber only a short distance from the Vatican City, the Castel Sant'Angelo is an ancient fortress with centuries of history, dating back to Roman times when it was constructed as a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Hadrian and his family. Over the centuries, it has served various roles, including as a fortress and a papal residence.

Explore all 7 floors of the museum, where you'll discover a diverse collection of ancient artifacts, including the bronze Statue of the Archangel Michael. This iconic Statue signifies the archangel sheathing his sword, symbolizing the end of a 6th-century plague. You'll also come across a diverse assortment of medieval and Renaissance weaponry, including swords, shields, and suits of armor.

Explore artistic treasures

As you make your way up the floors, you'll come across exquisitely decorated rooms. The Borgia Apartments showcase artworks by Pinturicchio, the Hall of Paul III features art by Giulio Mazzoni, and a standout is Melozzo da Forlì's angel painting.
