Dive into Rome's illustrious past with a combined ticket to Castel Sant'Angelo and the Ara Pacis Museum. This special offer allows you to discover two of the city's most important historical landmarks at your leisure, bypass the ticket queues and benefit from flexible entry.
Begin your visit at Castel Sant'Angelo, an imposing fortress initially constructed as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum in the 2nd century AD. Over time, this renowned edifice has functioned as a papal residence, a military stronghold, and currently, a museum exhibiting Rome's complex history. Wander through its medieval chambers, papal dwellings, and ascend to the upper terraces for sweeping views of the city.
Next, proceed to the Ara Pacis Museum, housing the Altar of Peace, emblematic of Emperor Augustus's flourishing Rome. The museum's contemporary design by Richard Meier offers a striking juxtaposition to the ancient altar, crafting an engaging experience that merges past with present-day Rome. Marvel at intricate friezes and restored artefacts, and gain a comprehensive insight into Roman art.
Situated along the Tiber River, both sites offer a remarkable journey into Rome's imperial and cultural legacy. With this combined ticket, you're granted the liberty to visit both sites at your own pace, enjoying a flexible and smooth experience.
