Castel Sant' Angelo (20 minute walk)
Built around 123 AD. as a sepulcher for the emperor Hadrian and his family, Castel Sant'Angelo has an atypical destiny in the historical-artistic panorama of the capital. While all the other monuments of the Roman era are overwhelmed, reduced to ruins or quarries of materials to be recycled in new, modern buildings, the Castle - through an uninterrupted series of developments and transformations that seem to slide one into the other without solution of continuity - accompanies the fortunes and history of Rome for almost two thousand years.
From a funerary monument to a fortified outpost, from a dark and terrible prison to a splendid Renaissance residence that sees Michelangelo active within its walls, from a Risorgimento prison to a museum, Castel Sant'Angelo embodies in the solemn Roman spaces, in the mighty walls, in the sumptuous frescoed halls, the vicissitudes of the Eternal City where past and present appear inextricably linked.
“Those who have learned to listen to trees no longer long to be a tree. He wants to be who he is.”
