Castel Sant'Angelo Small Group Tour
Castel Sant’Angelo is a unique monument on its own. However, only with an expert, English-speaking guide, you can deeply get the understanding of the singularity of the place. The Castle, besides its multi-layered structure and complex history, is filled with frescoes, paintings and decorations from the Renaissance, when the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art occurred. The Classical values and ideas are reinterpreted under a new Christian light: the pagan elements are no more in contrast with the Christian beliefs, and are instead promoted, exalted and overlaid in this new bond where ancient and present, pagan and Christian, sacred and profane coexist in a new dimension. Castel Sant’Angelo is a magic place full of Renaissance artworks, rich in references, symbolism and fascinating tales from the antiquity, as to glorify the Pope, the Papacy and the Christian culture. Take the opportunity to grasp the true uniqueness of Castel Sant’Angelo.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
