The Vatican has a vast collection dating from ancient Greece onwards, but its most celebrated work is part of the building itself - Michelangelo's celebrated frescoes in the Sistine Chapel.

Colosseum (Flavian Amphitheatre)
Echoing the giant stadiums of today, the Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre ever built by the Romans. Built by the Emperor Vespasian at the end of the first century AD, it could accommodate as many as 87,000 spectators, who gathered for a particularly bloody form of Roman entertainment, as gladiators fought wild animals and each other to the death.

Barberini Palace
The Barberini Palace is worth visiting for its splendour and collection of art. When Maffei Barberini became Pope Urban VIII in 1623 he decided to build a grand family palazzo. Bernini was commissioned to design the facade overlooking the garden and staircase, Borromini was commissioned to design the spiral staircase and windows to the top story of the palace. The most dazzling room is the Gran Salone, with its illusionist ceiling frescoes by Pietro Da Cortona. Not to be missed are the paintings by Caravaggio, Canaletto and Raphael.

Castel Sant' Angelo National Museum
This Fortress was originally built as a mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian (AD 130-139) but over the years has also been used as a prison and a papal residence by Popes who absconded there for protection in times of danger. There is still a covered passageway which connects Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican.
The National Museum of Castel Sant'Angelo retraces its own history. The castle has various exhibits ranging from Renaissance paintings and pottery to antique military weapons. It also has, hidden away and not easily found, a small ‘bagno’ withwalls and ceiling painted by Raphael. As in the last act of Tosca, you can admire the beautiful view from the terrace, followed by a coffee instead in one of the rampart towers.
