Rome by Night

Basilica San Piedro as seen from Sant'Angelo Castle

The City of Seven Hills is as overwhelming by night as it is by day. You discover layer after layer of historic periods, artistic styles, and an unrivaled cultural mosaic that all make you feel lost in this maze, no matter how much you have tried to document yourself before visiting Rome.

Sant'Angelo Castle displays a great panorama over the city, and if you have the chance to visit it at dusk, the mysterious corridors and tunnels will make you experience the troubled, uncertain times of the Middle Ages and also catch a glimpse into the - not without reason - suspicious minds of the Popes who were once protected within these walls and secret passages.

Baroque architecture and sculpture masterpieces become even more dynamic in the vibrant spectacle of water and light, thus all the great attractions of the city, ancient, medieval, but especially baroque, must be seen also by night, to have admired the full specter of their exemplar, absolute beauty.
