Itinerary
- St. Angelo Bridge: - Square before the bridge taking to the Castle, location of the most cruel executions of criminal in the eternal city
- Like pilgrims on the way to Saint Peter's Basilica, inspired by the angels made by Bernini, walk along the bridge to the entrance - Castel Sant'Angelo: - Main witness of the historical changes of Rome. Like a time machine, its loggias, rooms and galleries are freighted of the events the city has been through, like browsing a history book where each page has left a tangible mark on its walls.
- Even if a castle, by definition, is a closed space of defense, almost detached from its context, this fortress shared the destiny of the city's heyday and decay so intrinsically.
- A landmark expressing the control of the Church over the population, a bulwark against the attitude to crime
- Feeling of almost entering a prison more than a monument with all that this entails in terms of reverence and fear.
- Stories of prisoners with their hopes and despair and characters who made the history of the Castle like Emperors, Generals, Kings and Popes to finally provide a deep insight of the roman society through the centuries in a monument that still carries the burden of time and events.
Includes
- Ticket fees
- Radios and headsets for parties of 6 people or more
