Picture
Once Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, the structure was constantly used during the middle ages as a fortress and prison to become, in the renaissance period, the residence and fortress of the popes.

It is a place where the different epochs of Rome’s history are visible.

The ring corridor that leads to the papal apartment and the funerary chambers dates back to the imperial ages.

The pope’s apartments were decorated by the greatest artists of the renaissance with exquisite frescoes.
​
The building became a museum in 1925 and contains a historical military museum, paintings, ceramics, sculptures and tapestries
