About

Visit Hadrian’s mausoleum and explore the dark side of Rome through the esoteric messages hidden in the beautiful frescoes and statues.

Take a fascinating journey back in time and move through the history of the Castle from its original function as a dynastic mausoleum to its later role as a fortress of the Popes.

See the “secret” passage that connects the Castle with the Vatican and visit the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. Walk through the astonishing Papal corridors and rooms and be amazed by the Gran Loggia of Paul III. Marvel at the stunning grotesque motifs and at the illusionistic trompe l’oile painting.

End your tour in the upper terrace, from where you can soak in one of the best panoramic views of Rome.
