Archangel Michael
The Archangel Michael is a bronze sentinel of deliverance watching over Rome. He serves as a powerful symbol, reminder of the end of the plague.
Angel with the Cross
Sculpted by Ercole Ferrata, this figure carries the Cross—the primary instrument of Christ's Passion, grounding the path in deep spiritual weight as they approach the Basilica.
Angel with the Nails
Sculpted by Girolamo Lucenti, it's a symbol of the Passion. Holding the iron nails used during the Crucifixion, this figure serves as a solemn reminder of Christ's suffering.
A path of devotion
Designed as a spiritual overture, the bridge lines its path with angels bearing the Arma Christi (symbols of Jesus’s suffering), compelling pilgrims to reflect and meditate as they journey toward the sacred Vatican.

Testimonials
Megan
Highly recommend this tour in the evening to enjoy the rooftop views at sunset!
Elijah
Great experience, the view is phenomenal, definitely worth it just for that alone
Evette
I enjoyed the Castel and its rich history. Wear comfortable shoes because there are stairs and lots of walking to reach the top. The climb is with the view.
Jeoffrey
I didn't have much expectations from this place, but was really impressed with the entire experience. The views from above were fantastic, and it was a nice, sunny day. The digital audio guide also helped me understand the history of the palace.
