Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Hadrian's Mausoleum, is an impressive rotunda located in Parco Adriano, Rome, Italy. It was originally commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. Later, the popes used the building as a fortress and castle, and it is currently a museum.

The castle has had a fascinating history, from its use as a mausoleum to its conversion into a military fortress and its inclusion in the Aurelian Walls. Today, visitors can explore its various rooms and enjoy panoramic views of Rome from its terrace.

Be sure to visit. Book online in advance, otherwise you probably won't get it.

There is only one entrance to Castel Sant'Angelo, located at Lungotevere 50, right at the end of the Sant'Angelo Bridge over the Tiber. Castel Sant'Angelo is about a 10-minute walk from St. Peter's Square and Vatican City.
