Castel Sant'Angelo - the monument and its history
Castel Sant'Angelo was built around 123 a.C to be the monumental tomb of the emperor Adrian and his family. The Castle has undergone many renowations during centuries and its destination changed several times. It was first an imperial mausoleum during the ancient Rome, then became a fortified avampost, a prison and even a Renaissance fashion residence.
Nowadays the castle is characterized by its thik and powerful walls and magnificent frescoed halls. Visitors can also admire the precious art collections of paintings and articrafts.
Temporary art exhibitions are often housed in the castle in some periods of the year. Temporary exhibitions can be admired when planned by visitors and an extra fee is added to the standard price ticket.
