Ponte Sant´Angelo

Ponte Sant´Angelo is a Roman bridge completed in 134 AD and it is made of marble. In past times pilgrims used it when they walked to St Peter´s Basilica, and it was called Bridge of Saint Peter. The bridge took on the name Sant'Angelo after the legend that an angel appeared on the roof of the castle to announce the end of the plague.

When you walk on the bridge you can admire the beautiful statues of ten angels and an amazing view. The angels escort you quietly and gently over the Tiber river. The Ponte Sant´Angelo takes you from the holy Vatican atmosphere to the lively Ponte quarter. This bridge is worth seeing and experiencing.
