At Angles Castle Rome

#100waysoftravel St. Angel's Castle was originally the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. Later, it was used as a military fortress and turned into a prison. It was not until Pope Gregory I, who dreamed of an angel coming to end the Black Death, that it got its name today. Fort Sant'Angelo has a secret passage to St. Peter's Basilica, which protects the Pope's secret retreat and a large amount of Pope's property. Fort Sant'Angelo can be climbed to the top and is a good location overlooking the Tiber River and the city of Rome. There are 12 angel statues on the St. Angel Bridge in front of you, of which the most recent two were made by Bernini, but the real ones were removed and protected. When they went, they were just in time for the construction and restoration, and the panorama could not be seen. #ancienttown
