The Passetto di Borgo is an elevated fortified passageway connecting the Vatican with Castel Sant’Angelo. Built to facilitate communication and protect the popes, it was used as an escape route in times of danger, particularly during the Sack of Rome in 1527. Today, it offers visitors a unique insight into the city’s defensive and religious history.
