Although we had walked passed this castle on the way to our hotel on several occasions we saved visiting it until the last day. We flew home on an afternoon flight and this was a good place to spend a couple of hours, leaving our luggage close by at the hotel.
The Castle was originally built as a mausoleum to Hadrien and no one in the UK cannot have heard of Hadrien :-)
Ponte Sant Angelo
Views of and from Castel Sant Angelo
This castle is very close to the Vatican and well worth a visit. Entrance - you pay but it was free when we went due to the Festival of Culture. The castle had loos, a cafe and a bookshop. We entered via a spiral corridor that lead us round inside the main castle wall but there were many steps to the top. There was an exhibition of art while we were there.
