About this activity

This magnificent building holds a legendary tale behind its name. According to tradition, Archangel Michael appeared atop the structure, sword raised, symbolizing the end of the devastating plague of 590 AD. Originally constructed by Emperor Hadrian as a grand mausoleum, it later evolved into a fortress, papal refuge, and now, a fascinating museum.

Within its ancient walls, you’ll encounter a collection of chilling torture devices and mechanical artifacts that will leave you in awe. The tour culminates at the top, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Vatican. A centuries-long journey through history, mystery, and legend awaits those bold enough to explore this iconic monument!
