Angel and Demons Tour Description
Pantheon
The oculus confuses the “Angels & Demons” detectives at the beginning of the book when they believe the “demon hole” in the first riddle refers to it.
Santa Maria del Popolo Church
Raphael’s mosaics line the stunning dome. Bernini created the facade itself. The “Habakkuk and the Angel” sculpture by Bernini is also inside and appears in the “Angels & Demons” story.
St. Peter’s Square
An Egyptian obelisk from the 13th century B.C.E. stands in the middle of the piazza. The “West Ponente” tile, can be found at the base of the obelisk.
Santa Maria della Vittoria Church
One of the more well-known sculptures from the “Angels & Demons” story is housed in the church: Bernini’s “Ecstasy of St. Teresa.”
Piazza Navona
An Egyptian obelisk sits in the center of Bernini’s sculpture, The Fountain of the Four Rivers. This fountain plays a significant role in “Angels and Demons”.
Castel Sant’Angelo
There is a hidden elevated “Passetto di Borgo” that connects the Vatican City to the Castel Sant’Angelo. It has historically been used to transport Popes to safety when the Vatican was being attacked.
At first we’ll start with a visit to the iconic Pantheon, where you’ll be awed by the ancient temple’s magnificent architecture. Secondly, it’s on to the bustling Piazza del Popolo, where you’ll marvel at the stunning Santa Maria del Popolo church.

Our tour will take you to Tiber Island, where you’ll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this historic area.
Shortly after that, it’s on to the stunning Piazza Navona and a visit to the Castel Sant’Angelo, where you’ll see the “Passetto,” the suspended walkway that connects the castle to the Papal Residence.
Clearly, we’ll drive to St. Peter’s Square, one of the world’s most iconic religious landmarks. If possible, we’ll drive to St. Peter’s Square to admire the “west-ponente” marble mark near the Obelisk.
