Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian in AD 139, this iconic cylindrical structure on the banks of the Tiber River has served multiple roles throughout its history. Visitors can explore its ancient corridors and battlements and take in panoramic views of Rome from its terrace, once used as a papal escape route from the Vatican.
