Castel Sant' Angelo
The Extraordinary Tour of the
Castel Sant' Angelo - Private Fortress of the Popes!

Forget all the hot, overcrowded tours of the usual tourist sites.

This is such a fantastic opportunity, that you will notice most of the
other visitors around us will be Italians, not foreigners.
What makes this visit so amazing? The Castle was first
built by the mad Emperor Hadrian (in the Talmud, known
as Hadrianus) to be his own tomb – a gigantic round
mortuary with an entire artificial forest on top of it!
Then, after the fall of Rome, it was ravaged by the
barbarians and remodeled by the Popes to be their
private fortress when the Vatican was under enemy
attack. In peaceful times, the Popes had it decorated and
re-decorated according to their very elaborate tastes.
So, the huge structure is a sort of time machine – starting
in the bottom at 18 centuries ago, then working our way
up through different styles and transformations. On the
rooftop is the greatest nighttime view of Rome. For opera
fans, this is where the last act of Puccini’s Tosca takes
place – we can even show you where the diva is
supposed to have jumped off the roof. For fans of the
Dan Brown novel Angels and Demons, we will actually
be able to get you into the forbidden Passetto – the secret
escape tunnel of the Popes!

Imagine, a Jewish expert on the Vatican and Rome leading you
through layer after lyer of history. You will hear stories
from the Talmud and from the Renaissance, stories of our
ancestors and of the scandalous carrying-on of several Popes.

Do not miss this breathtaking experience!
