For someone fascinated by History in general and European history in particular, Castle Saint Angelo is an adventure and a treat; just to see part of an edifice begun by the Emperor Hadrian in the year 23AD is immensely exciting and breathtaking. Now I have come over the years to recognize not everyone shares this feeling when faced with an ancient building, but still I find that hard to understand. In any case, I don’t see how Castle Saint Angelo could disappoint anyone. It is magnificent, not in the same way as St. Peter’s Basilica, but in its own way steeped in the history of all the lives who have touched it; lived in it; fought for it. To walk the ramparts and thinks this is where Popes and Kings have walked and planned and plotted the future of mankind.

One enters the Castle passing over the Bridge of the Angels which is a wonderful history lesson all by itself.
