Descrizione
Esplora una delle attrazioni più emblematiche della città eterna. Lascia a casa la tua guida e immergiti nella storia del Mausoleo di Adriano, generalmente noto come Castel Sant'Angelo. Non perdere l'occasione di visitare la tomba dell'imperatore romano Adriano (noto anche come la talpa di Adriano).
Scoprirai l'antica leggenda dell'Arcangelo Michele che appare in cima al mausoleo, avvolgendo la sua spada e segnalando la fine della peste del 590, dando così al castello il suo nome attuale.
Rifatevi gli occhi con i magnifici affreschi, gli appartamenti papali e i corridoi del castello. Potrai anche ammirare splendide sculture di angeli di Bernini, Raggi e Morelli.
