This vista reveals the strategic and symbolic power of Castel Sant’Angelo. The Tiber bends past the Ponte Sant’Angelo, guiding the eye to St Peter’s Basilica, whose dome anchors the skyline. Once a mausoleum, later a fortress, the castle forms a vital axis between imperial Rome and the papal city, uniting past and present in one commanding sweep.
