I've been waiting for you
Originally built (AD 135-39) by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his successors, it was later decorated and fortified as a place of refuge for the popes.
Although outside of the Vatican city itself it was connected to the Vatican by a secret passage for their escape route in times of danger.
It was used as a fortress and prison until 1870 and is now a museum - the Museo Nazionale Militare and of Art.
It seems my extended family has more than a couple of photographers in it. This was originally an image that my Aunt's Partner took while on a coach going through Rome. I saw and loved the shot and asked if I could have a little play with it. The original photographers name is John Goss.
