Description
Special guided tours of the Passetto, the historical prisons, and the "Stufetta di Clemente VII", the richly frescoed private bath of the Pope of the first part of the XV century. The guided tours are led every from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9.00 pm to 11.30 pm.
The Passetto di Borgo, or er Corridore (the passageway), is an elevated and fortified passage that links the Vatican City with the Castel Sant'Angelo. It is approximately 800 m long, located in the rione of Borgo. It was erected in 1277 by Pope Nicholas III. On several occasions it served as an escape route for Popes in danger.
