  • Cappuccin Crypt is below the church Santa Maria della Immaculata Concezione on Via Veneto, just off Piazza Barberini. Bones of over 4,000 monks who died between 1528 and 1870 are artistically or grotesquely arranged, depending on your taste. The bones are displayed in five rooms, linked by a 60-meter long tunnel. This is a very, very unusual scene. A postcard on your way out is a must.

  • Castel Sant’ Angelo
    Not far from the Vatican is the Castel Sant’ Angelo, which for hundreds of years guarded the Vatican. Though it looks like a typical stronghold, Castel Sant’ Angelo was in fact built as a tomb for the emperor Hadrian in AD 135. By the 6th century it had been transformed into a fortress, and it remained a refuge for the popes for almost 1,000 years. From the roof café you have great views of the Vatican and can sip a refreshing glass of wine.

  • The Ponte Sant’ Angelo is one of Rome’s most beautiful bridges. It spans the Tiber in front of the Castel Sant’ Angelo and is decorated with graceful angels designed by Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680).
