Mausoleum of Hadrian, Imperial mausoleum at Parco Adriano, Rome, Italy
The cylindrical stone structure rises 48 meters high along the Tiber River, featuring multiple levels connected by a spiral ramp leading to the burial chamber.
Emperor Hadrian commissioned this tomb between 134 and 139 AD as a final resting place for himself and subsequent Roman emperors until Caracalla in 217 AD.
The structure transformed from a tomb into a fortress, prison, and papal refuge, now housing the National Museum with Roman artifacts and military collections.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 09:00 to 19:30, with adult tickets at 12 euros and free entry for visitors under 18 years old.
The Passetto di Borgo, a fortified corridor, connects the mausoleum to Vatican City, serving as an escape route for popes during historical conflicts.
