Listen in to a fascinating conversation between Federica and Rob as they discuss one of Rome's most interesting monuments: Castel St. Angelo. They discuss its very beginnings as the mausoleum for one of Rome's greatest Emperor's (Hadrian) and continue their discussion covering how the building miraculously survived the centuries and how it later became a "christianized" monument and a strategic fortress and castle for the Popes. Something most certainly worthwhile to hear before you come for a visit to one of Italy's most popular tourist sites.
