Former Hadrian mausoleum turned pope residence. Historic place, yet less outstanding as not many artifacts inside. Good views of the Vatican and the river from atop. more »

A beautiful museum in the heart of the city with a beautiful scenery over the water canal. Tickets are required to enter this place.
