1Castel Sant’Angelo
Originally built as Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, Castel Sant’Angelo has served many roles over the centuries, including fortress and papal refuge.
Today, it’s a museum offering insight into Rome’s layered history. The real highlight is the rooftop terrace, where panoramic views stretch across the Tiber River to St. Peter’s Basilica—one of the best viewpoints in the city.
