Sant'Angelo Skies
Looking across the River Tiber towards the Castel Sant'Angelo and its bridge, on a very hot and humid summer's day in Rome.
The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as Castel Sant'Angelo, was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum. The central part of the Castel was erected between 130 and 139 AD, and was once the tallest building in Rome.
