About Castel Sant'Angelo
The history of Castel Sant'Angelo dates back 130 years. Hadrian, the 14th emperor of the Roman Empire, ordered the construction of a building to be used as a tomb for himself and his family. However, Hadrian ended his life in 138 without seeing his mausoleum completed. Its current appearance was completed by Antoninus Pius (86-161), the 15th emperor of the Roman Empire, in 139, one year after Hadrian's death.
Castle Sant'Angelo: Hadrian's mausoleum began to be called Sant'Angelo, meaning 'Castle of the Archangel'. At the top of Castel Sant'Angelo is a stone statue of Archangel Michael, created by sculptor Raphael da Monterupo in 1536.
