Castel Sant'Angelo. This towering cylindrical building was initially commissioned by the Emperor Hadrian as his mausoleum. It was later used by the popes as a fortress and is now a museum. Legend holds that the Archangel Michael appeared atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword to signify the end of the plague of 590.
Ponte
Sant'Angelo. Near
the Vatican, and crossing the Tiber, 10 angels holding instruments of the
Passion dominate its path.
