Tips
Castel Sant'Angelo has had an eventful history over the many centuries of its existence: from a mausoleum (burial place of the Roman Emperor Hadrian) to a papal fortress and refuge (I'm referring to the infamous Sacco di Roma as a keyword here) to a museum and tourist destination. The name "Castel Sant' Angelo" goes back to the statue of the Archangel Michael, who is sheathing his sword, that crowns the building.
The Angel Bridge, which leads over the Tiber straight to Castel Sant'Angelo, can be found as a hiking highlight on komoot under this link:
