Vatican Museum Tour plus St Peters plus Basilica plus Sant Angelo

You begin your tour in the Vatican Museums. We'll stop by the octagonal courtyard which holds some of the greatest statues in the world and then walk through the many halls of the museums to reach the Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel for a detailed explanation of the beautiful frescoes in these rooms by some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. On the way visit the Candlestick Gallery, Tapestries Gallery, Geographic Maps Gallery, S. PioV Gallery, and Sobieski's Room.

After we exit the museums and take a look at the world's largest basilica. Walking through St. Peter's you'll see the highlights of the most famous church in the world, and listen to the many anecdotes of popes, saints, and artists. Saint Peter's Square has been the center of Christianity for centuries and the destination of pilgrims. In AD 64 this area was the site of a Roman Circus used for horse racing. It was here around the same period that Saint Peter was crucified and buried by Nero. Catholic tradition holds that Saint Peter's tomb is below the altar of the basilica. There has been a church on this site since the 4th century.

We then walk to the Castel Sant' Angelo also the Mausoleum of Hadrian a magnificent fortress commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The popes converted the structure into a castle, from the 14th century. Pope Nicholas III connected the castle to St. Peter's Basilica by a covered fortified corridor called the Passetto di Borgo. Castel Sant'Angelo appeared in Dan Brown's 2000 novel in the film Roman Holiday and in Puccini's opera, Tosca where Cavaradossi is held prisoner.
