About Castel Sant'Angelo
Castel Sant'Angelo, also called the Mausoleum of Hadrian, is a tall cylindrical rotunda in Parco Adriano in Rome, Italy. Emperor Hadrian ordered it built as a tomb for himself and his family. It went up on the Tiber's right bank between 134 and 139 AD. The original mausoleum was a decorated cylinder topped with a garden and a golden quadriga.
Later on, the popes made use of it as a stronghold and as a castle devoted to Saint Michael the Archangel. Pope Nicholas III joined it to St Peter's Basilica with a fortified, covered corridor known as the Passetto di Borgo. The popes began converting the structure into a castle in the 14th century. A legend says the Archangel Michael appeared on top of the mausoleum and sheathed his sword, marking the end of a plague in 590. In 1753 a bronze statue of Saint Michael by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, a Flemish sculptor, replaced an earlier marble statue.
The Papal State also used the castle as a prison, and Giordano Bruno spent six years locked up there. The third act of Puccini's 1900 opera Tosca is set at the castle. At one time it was the tallest building in Rome. After it was decommissioned in 1901, it became a museum under the name Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo.
