Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo
The Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo occupies Hadrian's mausoleum of the second century AD, later a fortress and papal residence. The visit climbs from the ancient ramp to the terrace.
Example
The terrace at the top is the reason most visitors book, and it is the last stop of a route that passes the papal apartments and the prison cells.
