The history of Castel Sant'Angelo begins in the year 135 AD, at the request of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) to have a funerary mausoleum built for him and his family, commissioning it to the architect Demetriano. In the emperor's thoughts there was a monumental tomb in the style of the Mausoleum of Augustus, but much larger in size.

Completed in 139, a year after the death of Emperor Hadrian, under the command of Antoninus Pius, the mausoleum was accessible from the Campo Marzio across the Ponte Elio, the current Ponte Sant'Angelo.

Located on the right bank of the Tiber, a few steps from the Vatican to which it is connected by the Passetto de Borgo, Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Mole Adriana and Mausoleum of Hadrian, is one of the most famous and visited monuments in Rome. From the top of its terraces or from the large openings located along the external walkways, you can also enjoy one of the most evocative views of the city, especially at sunset.
