Seven Wonders - Rome | Castel Sant'Angelo (Episode 4)
Episode 4: Mausoleum, fortified bastion, papal residence, prison, museum: Castel Sant'Angelo is all this, an architectural body that over the centuries has changed its nature and function without ever losing its centrality in Rome. Going up its 7 levels - including prisons, lodges, courtyards, bathrooms and halls - it is possible to retrace some salient moments in the history of Rome, from its foundation almost up to the present day.
Built in 128 AD. C. on the banks of the Tiber by Emperor Hadrian, the building became a crossroads between St. Peter's Basilica and the City. Thanks to its strategic position it took on the function of a fortress at the end of the 3rd century, and famous prisons were built inside it, from which the great sculptor Benvenuto Cellini escaped in the 16th century. During the Renaissance the building was transformed into a papal residence and began to be enriched with works of art and magnificent frescoes. In particular, thanks to the commission of Paul III, artists of the caliber of Perin del Vaga, Domenico Zaga and Pellegrino Tibaldi worked in the rooms of Castel Sant'Angelo.
