Castel Sant’Angelo – Rome’s Fortress of History
Rising along the Tiber River, Castel Sant’Angelo is one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, blending ancient Roman, medieval, and Renaissance history. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD, this imposing cylindrical fortress has served as a papal refuge, prison, and military stronghold over the centuries.
Connected to Vatican City by the Passetto di Borgo, a secret elevated passageway, the castle played a crucial role in protecting popes during times of siege. Today, visitors can explore its ancient corridors, grand halls, and beautifully preserved frescoes, while the rooftop terrace offers breathtaking panoramic views of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Tiber, and the Roman skyline.
The castle is linked to Ponte Sant’Angelo, a stunning bridge lined with marble angels designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, creating a picturesque entrance to this historic fortress. Whether exploring its underground dungeons, admiring Renaissance art, or watching the sunset from its terrace, Castel Sant’Angelo is a must-visit treasure in the Eternal City.

Whether printed on canvas, puzzles, or other formats, this unique piece transforms Rome’s legendary fortress into a mesmerizing circular masterpiece—bringing the history of the Eternal City into your home!
