About Castel Sant'Angelo

The history of Castel Sant'Angelo dates back to 130 AD. Hadrian, the 14th emperor of the Roman Empire, ordered the construction of a building to be used as a tomb for himself and his family. However, Hadrian died in 138 AD without ever seeing his mausoleum completed. The current 모습 is what Antoninus Pius (86-161), the 15th emperor of the Roman Empire, completed one year after Hadrian's death in 139 AD.

Castel Sant'Angelo began to be called Sant'Angelo, meaning 'Castle of the Archangel', after Hadrian's mausoleum. At the top of Castel Sant'Angelo is a statue of the Archangel Michael, which was made in 1536 by the sculptor Raffaello da Montelupo.

Sant'Angelo Bridge

Castel Sant'Angelo is also famous for the Sant'Angelo Bridge. This bridge crosses the Tiber River and connects the center of Rome with Castel Sant'Angelo. There are statues of angels on the bridge, and taking pictures with the 10 angel statues is very popular.
