Description:
|
The castle occupies a strategic point on the Tiber River and was considered the military key to Rome. More importantly, it served as the first line of defense for attacks against the Vatican. It is connected to the Vatican by an tunnel called the Passetto. This was used during the Sack of Rome in 1527 when the Pope fled the attackers and hid inside the castle.
