And in most of them, the Popes found salvation by crossing a long corridor by lifting themselves up and enclosing themselves in this giant cylinder. The soul of <strong>Castel Sant'Angelo<\/strong> is the <strong>resilience of masonry<\/strong>. By entering, you are invading the silent tomb of <strong>Emperor Hadrian<\/strong>; When you go up, you are walking through medieval dungeons; and when you reach the top, you will be standing under the imposing statue of the archangel Michael who sheathes his sword looking at the city. This fortress is literally the last defense wall of classical civilization.","description_body":"The approach will be via the <strong>Sant'Angelo Bridge<\/strong>, flanked by <strong>Bernini's Angels<\/strong> holding the weapons of the Passion (a free access walk). Upon entering, you will cross the heavy cylindrical wall and ascend a long helical ramp surrounded by the coolness of the ancient stone (the original imperial tomb).\n\nThe path passes through catapult courtyards and prisons until reaching the lavish <strong>Papal Rooms<\/strong>. We will crown the experience by ascending to the <strong> \"Terrazza dell'Angelo\"<\/strong>, one of the highest viewpoints of the Tiber River, where the direct visual connection with the Dome of Saint Peter justifies the price of admission.","audio_guide_en":"","audio_guide_es":"","audio_guide_duration":"","image_2":5383,"image_3":5385,"image_4":5387,"image_5":5389,"origin_point":"Ponte Sant'Angelo","curated_waypoints":"Rampa Elicoidale Romana | Appartamenti Papali | Terrazza dell'Angelo","destination_point":"Lungotevere Castello","latitude_start":"41.9026","longitude_start":"12.4663","golden_spot_lat":"41.9031","golden_spot_lng":"12.4663","golden_spot_tips":"<strong>Terrazza dell'Angelo towards the Passetto (West).<\/strong>\u00a0When you reach the roof, under the immense bronze statue, don't look towards the city center yet.

Castel Sant'Angelo belongs to the Italian State Museums, this means that on the first Sunday of the month admission is free but will involve heavy crowds; arrive at least 30 min before opening (8:30 AM).","faq_4_question_experience":"Is it very hard to climb to the upper terrace of the castle?","faq_4_answer_experience":"The main ascent is via a long imperial-era brick ramp in a continuous spiral (no steps but constantly inclined). It is a moderate physical requirement. If you are traveling with a baby in a stroller or with reduced mobility and the internal emergency elevator is not operational on the day of your visit, getting to the roof will be almost impossible.","sj_city_illustration_collage":4383,"sj_custom_seo_schema":"{\n    \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n    \"@graph\": [\n        {\n            \"@type\": \"Product\",\n            \"@id\": \"https:\/\/spacejourney.app\/roma\/experiencias\/castillo-sant-angelo-entradas-oficiales-roma\/#product\",\n            \"url\": \"https:\/\/spacejourney.app\/roma\/experiencias\/castillo-sant-angelo-entradas-oficiales-roma\/\",\n            \"name\": \"P-05 \u00b7 Castel Sant'Angelo: El Corredor Secreto (Premium)\",\n            \"description\": \"Las entradas oficiales (16\u20ac) para el Castel Sant'Angelo sin precios inflados.
