🇮🇹Don’t miss these at Castel Sant’Angelo!

👋 When you come to Rome, you must not miss Castel Sant'Angelo! This building full of mystery and historical heritage will definitely give you an unforgettable experience 📜Historical Stories Castel Sant'Angelo was originally a mausoleum built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 139 AD for himself and his descendants. A few centuries later, due to its special geographical location, it was transformed into a fortress to defend against foreign enemies. Later, it was used as a prison, and finally it was converted into the Pope's Palace. In the 6th century, Pope Gregory I erected a statue of an archangel holding a sword on the top of the castle to fight the Black Death, and it has been named Castel Sant'Angelo since then. The movie "Angels and Demons" was also filmed here, adding a lot of mystery to the castle. 🚗Transportation Guide Take Metro Line A to Lepanto Station, and then walk to the castle in about 15 minutes.
