Castel Sant'Angelo | From imperial tomb, prison, fortress to museum

I finally arrived at the other side of the Anywhere Door, Castel Sant'Angelo. Initially built in 130 AD as an imperial mausoleum, it was later converted into a papal palace. It is called 'Castel Sant'Angelo' because during the late stages of the Black Death in Europe, the Pope saw the Archangel Michael sheathing his sword atop this building, and soon after, the epidemic came to an end. To thank the angel, a bronze statue of the angel (see image 4) was added to the building, and its name was changed to 'Castel Sant'Angelo'. ❤️Recommended reason: The Ponte Sant'Angelo leading to Castel Sant'Angelo is also worth seeing, see images one, five, and six; 📝Note tips: Personally, I find Castel Sant'Angelo more charming at dusk;

Castel Sant'Angelo

Great old castle, nice placement near the Tiber river. The view is gorgeous, especially at sunset since the Basilica of St. Peter can be seen in the background. Also, the pedestrian bridge over the river is a romantic place with people that play slow songs on the guitar. We did not enter because the castle was closed, but it was pretty crowded so I suppose you should get tickets in advance if you want to visit the inside. #境外遊
