The Passetto di Borgo, or the Secret Passetto as it's also known, is an ancient passage that's cloaked in mystery. This hidden route was used as a secret escape route for popes when they were in danger. It stretches from the Vatican City to Castel Sant'Angelo, and is packed with tales of covert operations, conspiracies, and dramatic escapes. As you walk this mysterious path, you'll feel the weight of history that the Vatican carried during its most critical moments.
Castel Sant'Angelo, on the other hand, has a different story to tell. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian, it's been transformed over the centuries into a fortress, a papal residence, and even a prison. Today, it's a great place to learn about Rome's past, with all sorts of artefacts, awesome views of the city, and a history you'll love.
