Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Gateway under the Passetto, the route from the Vatican to Castel Saint Angelo. The Via dei Corridori begins in the Largo del Colonato, just between the Colonade of the Piazza of St. Peter's and the Piazza della Citta Leonina, where two arches have been pierced through the thickness of the passetto's supporting wall. According to same, the passetto was built by Nicholas III in 1277, according to others by the anti-pope John XXIII (1410-15); it was repaired by the Borgia Pope, Alexander VI, later in the fifteenth century. The narrow corridor in the thickness of the wall is surmounted by a battlemented walk; this fortified escape route enabled Clement VII to take refuge in Castel Saint Angelo at the time of the sack of Rome in 1527. |
