The Real Thing - Today

O Castelo de Santo Ângelo (em língua italiana, "Castel Sant' Angelo"), também conhecido como Mausoléu de Adriano, localiza-se à margem direita do rio Tibre, diante da ponte Sant'Angelo, a pouca distância do Vaticano, em Roma, na Itália. A sua primitiva estrutura foi iniciada em 139 pelo imperador Adriano como um mausoléu pessoal e familiar (Tumbas de Adriano), vindo a ser concluído por Antonino Pio em 139. O castelo é hoje um museu.
