Angels & Demons: The Path of the Illuminati Tour in Rome
Overview of the tour in Rome
Retrace the steps of the protagonist and follow the traces left by the Illuminati, where pagan symbolism and Christianity collide. The tour begins at Saint Mary of the Victory Church, where you can see Bernini’s sculpture Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. It was here that Robert Langdon found the third cardinal dead, branded with the word “fire.”
Visit Piazza Barberini with Bernini’s masterpiece Fountain of Tritone and visit the Church of Saint Luis of French, where you can admire three of Caravaggio’s masterpieces. The next stop is the Pantheon.
Go to Piazza Navona, where you can see Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers. Langdon found the last cardinal here, branded with the word “water.” Through Bernini’s Bridge of Angels, go to the Castle of Angels, the meeting place of the Illuminati, and hear about the “Passetto,” a hidden passageway that leads to the Vatican City.
The last stop is St. Peter Square, where you can see the obelisk surrounded by the wind rose. It was the Altar of Air of Illuminati, where Langdon found the second cardinal dead, branded with the word “air.” Hear about the legend of the Colonnade and play Bernini's perspective game.
