Aerial View of Castle Santangelo, Rome - Italy 🇮🇹

Castel Sant’Angelo is one of the most famous landmarks in Rome, Italy. Originally built in the 2nd century CE as the mausoleum of Hadrian, it later became a fortress, papal residence, and prison.

During the Middle Ages, the structure was transformed into a military stronghold connected to the Vatican City by a secret passage called the Passetto di Borgo. Popes used it as a refuge during times of danger, especially during the Sack of Rome.

The name “Sant’Angelo” comes from a legend that Michael the Archangel appeared above the castle in 590 CE, signaling the end of a plague in Rome. A statue of the angel now stands at the top of the fortress.
