Rome. Italy. View of the Castel Sant'Angelo which was built as the Mausoleum of Roman Emperor Hadrian around 134-139 AD. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian, the Castel was transformed into a fortified castle in the middle ages and then converted into a residence for the Popes in the Renaissance. The castle owes its name to a miracle performed by Archangel Michael in 590 AD during the reign of Pope Gregory the Great. The Angel ended a devastating plague and as gratitude the Pope renamed the castle, the castle of Angles.
