However, only with an expert, English-speaking guide, you can deeply get the understanding of the singularity of the place. The Castle, besides its multi-layered structure and complex history, is filled with frescoes, paintings and decorations from the Renaissance, when the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art occurred. The Classical values and ideas are reinterpreted under a new Christian light: the pagan elements are no more in contrast with the Christian beliefs, and are instead promoted, exalted and overlaid in this new bond where ancient and present, pagan and Christian, sacred and profane coexist in a new dimension. Castel Sant’Angelo is a magic place full of Renaissance artworks, rich in references, symbolism and fascinating tales from the antiquity, as to glorify the Pope, the Papacy and the Christian culture. Take the opportunity to grasp the true uniqueness of Castel Sant’Angelo. ## Key facts - Price: from €45 per person - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.97/5 from 37 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: City Walkers Tours ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Castel Sant'Angelo Small Group Tour | €45 / person | English | - | | Private Tour in Spanish | €64 / person | Spanish | - | | Private Tour in French | €64 / person | French | - | ## What's included - Admission Tickets & Booking Fees Admission Tickets & Booking Fees (Adult € 16.00 /Under 18 0€ ) - Expert Tour Guide in English, Italian or French ## Not included - Private transportation - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Castel Sant'Angelo** (2h; admission included) - Castel Sant’Angelo was originally built as a monumental tomb for the Emperor Hadrian.
