Ponte Sant’Angelo
The first thing you’ll come across when visiting Castel Sant’Angelo is the bridge – one of the most beautiful bridges in the Eternal City. Completed in 134 AD, and commissioned by Hadrian himself, this bridge has spanned the River Tiber ever since it was built. Constructed from travertine marble and consisting of five arches, it is only accessible by foot and closed to traffic. Although the bridge is an attractive structure, one of the most striking elements is its statues of angels and apost...
Hadrian’s Mausoleum
The original purpose of Castel Sant’Angelo was as a tomb for Emperor Hadrian, and you can still see this central part of the building. Inside the more modern castle walls are the remains of the Mausoleum. With its interior walls once adorned with marble and other decorations, it’s not hard to see how grand this tomb would have once been before it was plundered.
Castel Sant’Angelo terrace

It offers some incredible panoramic views of the surrounding city; from here you can spot the dome of St Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheonand other historic landmarks that dot the city. There’s a cafe situated up here, so you can soak up the view while sipping on a coffee or having a snack.

Best time to visit
Though you can visit the Castel Sant’Angelo pretty much any time of day and still be impressed, it’s particularly pleasant to visit around sunset. Not only is the sunset from Castel Sant’Angelo terrace beautiful but there are also fewer people around this time of day, making for a less busy experience. Depending on when you are visiting Rome, you won’t be able to linger long enough to see the sunset. In that case, I recommend going there as soon as it opens. Wondering how long it takes to vis...
