Castel Sant' Angelo

Today Sam and I had gone to Castel Sant' Angelo and walked through the historic site. The castle was finished and began it's roles in AD 139. Upon walking up the the castle it was massive and included a fortress. Castel Sant' Angelo has been used for a medieval prison, city wall, and a residence of many popes.

Castel Sant' Angelo offered museums inside that consisted of many paintings and artifacts, such as clothing, instruments and a baby carraige. Once you get to the top of the castle, you will find an excellent view looking over the city of Rome and to your right, once at the top of the stairs, you will see the Vatican and St. Peter's Dome. The views were magnificent inside and out. It cost 8 euros to go into the castle and it was worth it.
