Visite privée - Château Saint-Ange
Description
Le monument a été construit par l'empereur Hadrien (117-138 après JC) avec le pont Aelius en face pour devenir un mausolée pour lui-même et pour ses successeurs. Au fil des siècles, il devint le rempart défensif de la Cité du Vatican, le site d’une garnison, d’une prison, mais aussi les bureaux du Trésor et des archives du Vatican. Aujourd'hui, on peut visiter l'intérieur du château avec ses riches salles décorées de fresques du XVIIe siècle (Salle d'Apollon, Salle de Paolina ornée des Histoires d'Alexandre le Grand, Salle de Persée avec épisode du mythe du héros grec, Salle d'Amore et Psiche), les prisons, la collection d'armes anciennes, la galerie de peinture (avec des œuvres de Carlo Crivelli, Luca Signorelli et Dosso Dossi), la collection de marbres anciens, de céramiques et de sculptures. La terrasse offre l'une des meilleures vues panoramiques sur le centre historique.

We spent a beautiful afternoon discovering particular corners and knowing secrets and compelling stories and a thank you goes to Vincenzo that mel tell her really amazed us.
We took a tour of Castel Sant’Angelo and Palazzo Farnese with Vincenzo, a guide who is now one of the strong points of every escape to Rome. This time the visit to Castel Sant’Angelo, which apparently is not one of the most attractive monuments in the capital, proved to be the scene of a lesson in history, architecture, life and death, paganism and Christianity. The Farnese palace then was the gem that made the weekend unforgettable. If you visit anything in Rome, the enthusiasm of Vincenzo Spina gives you half the joy.
This was a fabulous tour. Vincent was able to bring the history alive with his great storytelling skills. The Castle was beautiful on its own, but the tour was so worthwhile.
Castel Sant’Angelo is a must-visit when in Rome. This historic fortress, originally built as Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, is rich in history and architecture, with fascinating exhibits throughout. Walking through its ramparts and corridors, you get a real sense of Rome’s past, from ancient times to the Renaissance. The highlight is the terrace, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the Vatican, perfect for photos. The museum is well laid out, informative, and engaging for visitors of all ages. A memorable experience combining history, art, and spectacular vistas. Definitely worth a visit when exploring Rome!
Vincenzo is always a guarantee of quality and pure entertainment. The history, the anecdotes, the attention, the care in the choice of words. Everything was perfectly calibrated and we immersed ourselves in a sunny and hot day inside this beautiful and complex monument that sees the stratification of stories and situations that go back centuries. Inside Castel Sant'Angelo Vincenzo guided us through the papal quarters, Hadrian's Tomb, the field of capital executions, frescoes, the fortress halls, prisons, the famous passetto and a thousand other details that enriched our visit experience, so as to make it unforgettable. Thanks Vincenzo! Until next time
Vincent was very knowledgeable and passionate in his delivery. He interacted with the group and made it fun. Spoke good English as well.
Entertaining and knowledge guide. 2 hr private tour provided an in depth analysis and reflections. He provided many stories to illuminate the experience.

We had a wonderful 2 hour walking tour with Martina. We have had many tours all over the world with many tour guides and Martina was one of the best!
There are few tour guides like Vincenzo Spano. He is extremely well trained and also personable and funny. We could have listened to him for hours! Thank you for this unique tour in Castel Sant'Angelo!
