Castel Sant'Angelo is a monument of Rome located on the right bank of the Tiber in front of the homonymous bridge. The origins of Castel Sant'Angelo date back to 135 AD, when the emperor Hadrian commissioned the architect Demetriano to build a funeral mausoleum for himself and his family. In the following centuries up to the present day, the castle lost its function as a sepulcher and was subject to radical changes which gave it its current appearance. Today Castel Sant'Angelo is state property of the Italian State and is connected to the Vatican State through the fortified corridor of the "passetto".

Frequently visited place in Rome, as it is quite impressive on the way to St. Peter's Square and due to the thickness of the walls of the "Castel Sant'Angelo". And a fantastic view from above!

For me, the visit to the Castel Sant'Angelo was my personal highlight of my visit to Rome, because you have a fantastic view of Rome and the Tiber from the castle.
