The National Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo can be considered at the same time a monument, an archaeological site and a museum. Inside are preserved numerous and heterogeneous collections, here merged in different historical moments. Visiting the museum, you will discover the fascinating history of the building that houses it. Built around 123 A.D. as a tomb for Emperor Hadrian and his family, Castel Sant'Angelo accompanied for almost two thousand years the fate and history of the capital. From a funerary monument to a fortified outpost, from a dark prison to a splendid Renaissance residence, from a Risorgimento prison to a museum, Castel Sant'Angelo embodies the story of the Eternal City, where past and present seem inextricably linked. Founded as a museum of war memorabilia and military, such as weapons and uniforms, in recent decades the exhibition space of Castel Sant'Angelo has been enhanced with an impressive collection of pottery (with examples dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century) and an interesting group of medieval and modern sculptures.

“Het is heel vervelend dat je de Roma Pass enkel in bepaalde punten kunt afhalen. Zo verlies je heel wat kostbare tijd die je anders aan een bezoek kan besteden. We boekten ook het bezoek aan Vaticaanstad via Tui voor zondag 2 juni 2024. Heel jammer was het dat de Vaticaanse musea echter niet open zijn op zondag. Misschien best een functie installeren in jullie boekingssysteem dat je niet kunt boeken als iets niet open is. Zo betaalt voor iets wat niet kan.”
