Castel Sant' Angelo

 Everyday my friend kept nagging us to go and see this big castle that she found on her Rick Steve's Map. I kept saying to myself I never knew there was a castle in Rome, but sure enough there was and with a little help from Rick we arrived there with ease. The Castel of Sant' Angelo is a huge cylinder building in Rome that used to be a mausoleum for Hadrian, one of the top Roman Emperors, and his family. We found out in our travel books that this was later used as a castle, prison and now a museum. The view from the top was unlike anything I have ever seen, and the view of Vatican City, St. Peter's Cathedral. and the Tiber River was unbelievable from the top of the Castel.
