The Saint Angelo Castle in Rome

Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.

Saint Angelo Castle is a massive structure situated on the banks of the Tiber river. The castle is connected to the Vatican Palace through the Vatican Corridor because it was used by popes as a fortress in times of uncertainty. Today, there is a museum inside the complex exhibiting objects from the castle's 2,000-year history.

Saint Angelo Castle was built initially as Roman Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum in the 2nd century. Later, the structure was fortified and used as a fortress.

If you enter the museum, you can also enjoy a spectacular view or Rome from the castle's terrace. For more information, can call +39-06-6875036.
