Castel Sant'Angelo is a monument of Rome located on the right bank of the Tiber in front of the homonymous bridge. The origins of Castel Sant'Angelo date back to 135 AD, when the emperor Hadrian commissioned the architect Demetriano to build a funeral mausoleum for himself and his family. In the following centuries up to the present day, the castle lost its function as a sepulcher and was subject to radical changes which gave it its current appearance. Today Castel Sant'Angelo is state property of the Italian State and is connected to the Vatican State through the fortified corridor of the "passetto".

View of Ponte Sisto

Highlight • Viewpoint

Also known as "Agrippa's Bridge" or "Gianicolense Bridge", Ponte Sisto connects Piazza San Vincenzo Pallotti to Piazza Trilussa. It owes its name to Pope Sixtus IV, who wanted it rebuilt in the 15th century. According to Giorgio Vasari, the architect in charge of the reconstruction was Baccio Pontelli.

St. Peter's Square

Highlight • Monument

St. Peter's Square is among the most famous squares in the world. It is a symbol not only of spirituality but also of culture, being among the greatest architectural works of the Western world. To understand its magnificence you have to look at it from above and you can do this by climbing inside the Dome of St. Peter. Inside the Basilica there are signs leading to the ticket office to go up to the Dome (the Basilica can be visited for free). The view you can admire from those 140 meters is unique and worth every penny paid!
