What to expect

Get to know the history of Rome by exploring the Pssetto di Borgo and Castel Sant'Angelo. These iconic landmarks are steeped in centuries of power, intrigue, and papal secrets, each with their own hidden stories waiting to be discovered.

The Passetto di Borgo, or the Secret Passage as it's also known, is an ancient passage that's cloaked in mystery. This hidden route was used as a secret escape route for popes when they were in danger. It stretches from the Vatican City to Castel Sant'Angelo, and is packed with tales of covert operations, conspiracies, and dramatic escapes. As you walk this mysterious path, you'll feel the weight of history that the Vatican carried during its most critical moments.

Castel Sant'Angelo, on the other hand, has a different story to tell. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian, it's been transformed over the centuries into a fortress, a papal residence, and even a prison. Today, it's a great place to learn about Rome's past, with all sorts of artefacts, awesome views of the city, and a history you'll love.
