Rome: Pope’s Dungeon at Castel Sant’Angelo with Audio Guide

Overview

Step into the Mausoleum of Hadrian that was built nearly 2000 years ago. With 18 points of interest, hear the castle’s storied history starting with the Roman Empire. Legend has it the plague of 590 ended when Archangel Michael stood on top of the mausoleum. Listen in your own language as you explore the building’s transition into a castle and prison.
