(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
St. Angelo Bridge
Ponte Sant'Angelo, also known as pons Aelius (Helios Bridge), pons Hadriani (Hadrian's Bridge) or Castello Bridge, is a bridge that connects Piazza di Ponte S. Angelo to the Vatican Lungotevere, in Rome, in the Ponte and Borgo districts . It was built in Rome in 134 by the emperor Hadrian, designed by a certain Demetrianus, to connect his mausoleum to the left bank. It was built in peperino and covered in travertine and had three arches, which were accessed via ramps from the shore. The ramps were in turn supported by three smaller arches on the left bank and two on the right bank, towards Hadrian's mausoleum, which were destroyed in 1893 during the construction of the river banks and replaced by modern arches. The street level had high sidewalks on the sides equipped with travertine balustrades.
Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo
Tutto ha inizio nel 135 d.C. quando l'imperatore Adriano chiede all'architetto Demetriano di costruire un mausoleo funebre per sé e i suoi familiari, ispirandosi al modello del mausoleo di Augusto, ma con dimensioni gigantesche. I lavori durarono diversi anni e furono ultimati da Antonino Pio nel 139. Venne costruito di fronte al Campo Marzio, al quale fu unito da un ponte appositamente costruito, il Ponte Elio. Il mausoleo era composto da una base cubica, rivestita in marmo lunense, avente un fregio decorativo a teste di buoi (Bucrani) e lesene angolari. Nel fregio prospiciente il fiume si leggevano i nomi degli imperatori sepolti all'interno. Sempre su questo lato si presentava l'arco d'ingresso intitolato ad Adriano; il dromos (passaggio d'accesso) era interamente rivestito di marmo giallo antico.
St. Peter's BasilicaPass-by Only
The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, or simply Saint Peter's Basilica is a church of the Italian High Renaissance located in Vatican City. It was initially planned in the 15th century by Pope Nicholas V and then Pope Julius II to replace the ageing Old St. Peter's Basilica, which was built in the fourth century by Roman emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626. Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, and Carlo Maderno, with piazza and fittings by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is one of the most renowned works of Italian Renaissance architecture and is the largest church in the world by interior measure. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world",and as "the greatest
