Rome

Panoramic view of Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, Italy on December 13, 2010 in the morning. Built 135-39 on the right bank of the Tiber by Roman Emperor Hadrian (76-138) for use as his family Mausoleum, the Castel Sant'Angelo later became a Papal fortress and is now a museum. A vision of the Archangel Michael at the end of the 590 plague gave the building its name. In the foreground are statues of angels on the Ponte Sant'angelo designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) which links the Castel with the Vatican City. Picture by Manuel Cohen
