Description
Start your visit on the Ponte Sant’Angelo, lined with Baroque angel statues, before entering Hadrian’s grand mausoleum — a monument that has guarded Rome for nearly 2,000 years. Inside, follow your audio guide through echoing chambers, papal frescoes, and armories filled with relics. Ascend the spiral ramp to the terrace, where Tosca leapt in Puccini’s opera and where today’s travelers find one of the most breathtaking views in Rome.
