Vicolo Barchetto, 00019 Tivoli RM, Italy

Tivoli's Rocca Pia, an imposing Renaissance fortress located in the city center, was built by Pope Pius II Piccolomini starting in 1461 to defend the city and control the population. The structure is characterized by four large circular towers of varying heights, connected by high crenellated walls. Over the course of its history, the Rocca has alternated defensive functions with those of a papal barracks and, for a long time, a prison until 1960. It is currently a tourist attraction located near Piazza Garibaldi and the Bleso amphitheater. WEBSITE: https://visittivoli.it/sito-turistico/rocca-pia/

Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as Hadrian's Mausoleum, is an impressive rotunda located in Parco Adriano, Rome, Italy. It was originally commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. Later, the popes used the building as a fortress and castle, and it is currently a museum. The castle has had a fascinating history, from its use as a mausoleum to its conversion into a military fortress and its inclusion in the Aurelian Walls. Today, visitors can explore its various rooms and enjoy panoramic views of Rome from its terrace.

It's hard to imagine that all the traffic once had to go through here! Even today, the Via Appia Antica is a busy road, except that most cars now turn off.

An impressive building even from the outside.
