This building used to be many things... a prison, the mausoleum of Hadrian, a castle, a place of hiding for the pope, in various times when there was a price on his head... I actually did not go inside, but the Ponte Sant Angelo has beautiful Bernini sculptures of angels all along the sides of the bridge. Each angel holds an item from the Crucifixion of Christ: nails, crown of thorns, garment & dice, pillar of scourging, spear of Longinus... they are beautiful, beautiful sculptures by one of the greatest artists in the history of the world.

Just an awesome place to hang out and observe tourists and locals. Get a tartuffo at Caffe Tre Scalini... they are 5 euros a pop, but some of the best chocolate I've EVER had! (and I am a chocolate addict). The church of St. Agnes in Agony is on the western side of the piazza and is very beautiful; inside is contained the skull of the 3rd century martyr. Check out the performers, especially the guy who dances with finger puppets, and the balloon guy. Avoid people selling you crap, enjoy the fountains, pity the "living statues," and look for the "running man," who is a rare talent!

Ciao! Nice start to your Rome page. Too bad our trips to Rome had to be a few weeks apart, we would have had a blast together if we'd met up! | AngelAmidala Fri Jun 15, 2007 15:29 UTC
Wow...some really awesome pictures...especially from the inside and at night! :) I'm so showing some of these to one of the students who works for me. He's been to Rome twice now and absolutely loves it! |
