The Mausoleum of Hadrian, also known as Castel Sant'Angelo

Barberini Faun: The sculpture was either carved by an unknown Hellenistic sculptor of the Pergamene school, in the late third or early second century BC or is a Roman copy of high quality, though its present form was given it by a series of restorers in Rome, ending with Vincenzo Pacetti. The statue was found in the 1620s in the moat below the Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, which in antiquity had been Hadrian’s Mausoleum.

Prayer for the End Time

SWORD OF SAINT MICHAEL

Rome (600 A.D.) - During a plague which greatly depopulated the city of Rome, Pope Gregory I (Gregory the Great) ordered a penitential procession in which he himself carried a statue of the Blessed Virgin. As the procession reached the bridge across the Tiber, the singing of angels was heard. Suddenly Gregory saw an apparition of a gigantic archangel, Michael, descending upon the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian. In his right hand, Michael held a sword, which he thrust into its scabard. Gregory took the vision as an omen that the plague would stop, which it did, and so he renamed the mausoleum the Castel Sant' Angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel) in Michael's honor.

Castel Sant'Angelo, in Rome, Italy. The castle started its life as the Mausoleum of Hadrian. The Romans realized it would make a good castle and defensive walls were built on top. The Popes soon took it over (being conveniently close to the Vatican) and turned it into a proper castle. It's one of my favorite castles, mostly because it's had such an interesting life.

Check out this castle in this post on Rome's museums:

Ponte Sant'Angelo

Rome

The eighth angel, officially entrusted to Giulio Cartari

In 1669, Pope Clement IX commissioned Bernini to replace the aging stucco angels on the bridge.

Ponte Sant'Angelo, originally the Aelian Bridge or Pons Aelius, is a Roman bridge in Rome, Italy, completed in 134 AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian (Publius Aelius Hadrianus), to span the Tiber from the city centre to his newly constructed mausoleum, now the towering Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge is faced with travertine marble and spans the Tiber with five arches, three of which are Roman; it was approached by means of a ramp from the river. The bridge is now solely pedestrian and provides a scenic view of Castel Sant'Angelo
