Castel Sant'Angelo was built, as was the Elian Bridge in front, by the Emperor Hadrian (117-138) as a Mausoleum for himself and his successors. Antoninus Pius completed it in 139. In 271, the Emperor Aurelian incorporated the pile into the defense system he designed: it lost its function as a tomb to become a fortress. In 1277, it was occupied by Nicholas II who connected it to the Vatican by the famous corridor, a safety passage which runs along the top of the encircling wall of the Vatican. Henceforth, it remained under the control of the Popes who used it as a fortress, to impress, but also as a prison and a place for torture. The bridge in front crosses the Tiber River and is adorned by some of Bernini's most beautiful and interesting statues.
St. Peter's Square is one of Rome's greatest sites, visited by millions of tourists and faithful. The splendid square and colonnade, Bernini's finest work, form a superb entryway to the greatest church of Christendom, dominated by the magnificent Dome of Michelangelo. Michelangelo, Giacomo della Porta and Domenico Fontana carried out the construction of this basilica, plagued by numerous obstacles and problems. The basilica rises over the foundations of a paleochristian Church, which, according to tradition, was built over the tomb of the Martyred Apostle Peter. Local Operator Information:
