Rome: Pope’s Dungeon at Castel Sant’Angelo with Audio Guide
Overview
Discover the rich history of Castel Sant’Angelo with worry-free priority tickets. Explore the fortress which once housed popes and noble families with an audio guide leading your journey.
Step into the Mausoleum of Hadrian that was built nearly 2000 years ago. With 18 points of interest, hear the castle’s storied history starting with the Roman Empire. Legend has it the plague of 590 ended when Archangel Michael stood on top of the mausoleum.
Listen in your own language as you explore the building’s transition into a castle and prison. The courtyard was the site of executions – and the setting where characters from Puccini's famous opera, Tosca, were imprisoned. Today, Castle Sant’Angelo is one of Rome’s most iconic and beloved museums.
