Sunday at Sant'Angelo

We passed by the Trevi Fountain on our way to the Castle Sunday morning. It was really crowded, we were lucky to force our way in for picture time. Linda and I each threw in one coin for a return to Rome. It's worked for me so far!



We saw a few cute streets on our way to the castle. We saw a lot of cute details, like this shrine with its rays of light design.



At the castle, we did the audio tour, which gave a lot of cool details. The castle is called Sant'Angelo after Michael, and the sculpture on the top is of him. But it's not the first statue of the angel to be up there. Lightning destroyed or severely damaged several of them.



Working our way all around the spiral of the castle, we made it up on the roof. This is the famous balcony that Tosca throws herself off of. The views are great from up there. That's St. Peter's behind us.



On our way down we took a few cute photos. Don't you think this storage hut looks like a bird face?



And I figured this guard booth would be a good photo op. Maybe there were Swiss Guards in here once?



We spent pretty close to 4 hours in the castle! I'd recommend it to visitors to Rome.
