A great attraction to visit with kids. A beautiful castle with lots of rooms to visit and a magnificent view of Rome from the top. We went early and there wasn't much of a queue but it was a lot longer by the time we left. It has a lovely cafe near the top with what must be some of the best views in Rome. If you have young kids you need to keep an eye on them as there are a lot of gaps and small spaces on the walkways that they would be able to squeeze through if you're not alert. It keeps you on your toes. In the gardens behind the castle is one of the few playgrounds in Rome which was great for the kids to burn off some energy.

It's free, it's ancient, why not?! The spiral, carved pictures tells the story of Marcus Aurelius' wars along the Danube, these wars were waged by him from 166 to his death. Also, a bronze statue of the apostle St. Paul was placed on the top, to go with that of St. Peter on Trajan's Column in 1588. Originally the top had a statue of Marcus Aurelius.
