Photos of Italy

The Castel Sant'Angelo along the Tiber River in Rome, Italy, is also known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian. The Roman emperor built it as a tomb for himself and his family around A.D. 135. Succeeding emperors were also entombed there. The structure has since served as a fortress, a castle, and a museum.
