Castel Sant'Angelo by night #castelsantangelo #itsreallythatgolden #iireally didntfilter #nightwalking #rome #italy #breathtaking #funfacts -Originally built from 135-139 AD (Not a typo) as a mausoleum to Emperor Hadrian, which was then built on top in 590 and renamed. In 1277, a long corridor that goes to St.Peter’s was built so it could be used as an escape route by the Pope. Down the line in 1520’s, the then-current pope used it as his man-cave.
