Castel Sant'Angelo

Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. I loved the way this building looked. It was originally built by Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself, then it was a papal fortress and residence, and now it is a museum. Talk about re-use!

 

Castel Sant'Angelo also plays a part in the book "Angels and Demons", but I'm not going to tell you how... you'll just have to read that for yourself.
