There are beautiful halls inside the castle. The floor in them is lined with mosaic marble of several types. Very beautiful! If you take a photo next to the sculpture of the Holy Angel on the observation deck above, it will seem that you are under his protection and he is driving away invisible enemies with a huge sword.
Of course, a must-visit place in Rome. Unfortunately, the bar is closed, and you will not be able to drink an aperol with a view of the Vatican. But this does not beg for the need to visit a place that is 1,889 years old.
My favorite place in Rome! The view from above is breathtaking! I can walk here for hours! I recommend the cafe inside! Seagulls are coming to you! Say hello and try something!))) It is interesting for both children and adults! Be sure to visit!

The best place in Rome, a beautiful view around, a good museum inside, you can touch the real antiquity
The angel statue is great
I definitely recommend it
It's a beautiful place. I recommend. The only thing is that there is no audio guide now in 2024. It was like that 5 years ago. My husband and I took it .
The historic castle is considered to have been built in the second century. It contains the tombs of Emperor Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius, as well as the papal tombs.
A beautiful castle, a very beautiful bridge of Angels leads to the castle. But it is better to admire the view of the castle from afar, from the opposite side.

A crypt, a papal residence, a prison, whatever it was. Of course, it would be more informative with a tour, but at the top you can have a cup of coffee and admire Rome.
Tickets can be purchased both offline and online.
My favorite place in Rome. The history of the city of all centuries and centuries is intertwined here. It was originally the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian. The construction was completed in 139 AD. In 590, Pope Gregory the Great saw the Archangel Michael on top of the castle during the plague, who was sheathing his sword - that was the end of the epidemic. And the castle acquired its real name. Over two thousand years, the building has been rebuilt several times and was part of the city's fortifications and a prison. Today there is a museum here, and from the terrace at the very top there is a magnificent view of the Eternal City. It is a very beautiful and impressive building.

It's a beautiful place, there are cafeterias and restaurants inside. You can eat with a cool view of Rome.
I advise everyone to visit this fortress. At the top there is a great view of the whole of Rome! Children were allowed to pass for free. The kids really liked it too!
The huge castle where the Popes hid during the wars. It is definitely worth wandering around the castle, climbing the fortress wall and to the very top of the castle, right under the Angel statue
