The Castel Sant'Angelo is nestled between the Tiber and the Vatican.
It was built in A.D. 135 as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum.
It was used later also as a fortress and prison, even providing an escape route for popes via the connected corridor running atop the wall encircling the Vatican.
It serves up fabulous views of the city.
