Gain access to Castel Sant'Angelo, ascend to its terrace for a one-hour visit and discover one of the most beautiful views of Rome from the highest accessible point of the castle. The name Terrazza dell'Angelo is linked to the colossal statue of the Archangel Michael, made to commemorate the vision that Pope Gregory the Great had in 590, on the occasion of the end of the plague in Rome.
The view opens almost 360 degrees over the historic centre of Rome, which lies at the foot of the castle, beyond the Tiber. The castle is faced by Sant'Angelo Bridge, one of the most scenic in Baroque Rome due to the sequence, designed by Bernini, of ten statues of angels holding the symbols of Christ's passion.
Moving your eyes from left to right, you'll recognise the gigantic bulk of the Palazzaccio (the Palaces of Justice), the greenery of Villa Borghese, Quirinale, Pantheon, Capitoline Hill, Aventine Hill and the Janiculum, while, turning towards St. Peter's Basilica, you'll appreciate the Passetto di Borgo route, which connects Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican Palaces.
After this fantastic experience, you'll be free to visit the remaining levels of the castle in total autonomy.
