What To Expect

Passetto di Borgo

The Passetto di Borgo is a hidden passageway that connects the Vatican City with Castel Sant'Angelo. Built in the 13th century, it was originally designed as a secret escape route for the Pope in times of danger. Stretching over 800 meters, this narrow corridor allowed the Pontiff to travel safely between the Vatican and the fortress, especially during times of political unrest. Today, it remains a fascinating piece of Rome's history, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's medieval past.
