After landing at FCO, we entered Italy & checked into the W Rome. We visited the Spanish Steps, Basilica dei Santi Ambrogio e Carlo al Corso, and the Castel Sant'Angelo. We briefly visited the Vatican, saw Rome from atop the Janiculum, and ate pizza, pasta, and gelato.

Die Engelsstatuen in der Engelsburg in Rom verkörpern eine faszinierende Verbindung von Kunst und Geschichte. Ursprünglich als Mausoleum für Kaiser Hadrian erbaut, wurde die Burg später eine Festung. Besonders beeindruckend ist der Erzengel Michael, der das Schwert schwingt – ein Symbol des Schutzes und der göttlichen Macht über die Stadt.

The angel statues in Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome represent a captivating blend of art and history. Originally built as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, the castle later became a fortress. Particularly striking is the Archangel Michael, wielding a sword—a symbol of protection and divine power over the city.

Since the Castel SantAngelo was, originally, Hadrian's tomb, he should have the last word.
