Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome

Castel Sant'Angelo is an engaging cylindrical shape tower on the right bank of the Tiber. It was originally built between 135–139 AD to serve as a mausoleum for Hadrian, the Roman emperor, and his family. It was the last resting place for other Roman emperors but turned into a fortress and palace for the Popes during the 5th century and today is a fascinating Museum.
