Some Facts about Castel Sant’ Angelo


It was once the tallest building in Rome when it was constructed.


It was designed and built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family.


This monument was also used for the protection of Popes. In the 14th century, popes decided to convert the structure into a castle, to act as protection for them. 


Pope Nicholas III connected the castle to St. Peter’s Basilica by way of a corridor known as Passetto di Borgo


When Rome was in the mouth of death due to deadly disease named plague, Saint Michael appears on the top of mausoleum sheathing his sword as a sign of the end of the plague of 590, after that monument was named to Castel Sant’ Angelo.
