Learn how Hadrian's mausoleum became a papal fortress

Castel Sant'Angelo was commissioned by Emperor Hadrian and built between 135 and 139 AD, which is why it is also known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian. It was later transformed into a powerful defensive fortress by the Papal States and has served as a refuge for popes since the 14th century. You can also hear the stories of the prisoners once held within its walls.
