Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome Italy

The Castel Sant'Angelo is a huge fortress in Rome Italy that was built in 139 AD as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian.  The Sant'Angelo castle has been used for different purposes over its long lifetime.  It was once a prison, a refuge for the pope from his enemies and is now a museum.  A tunnel connects Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican.
