The Castel Sant’Angelo
聖天使城堡是意大利羅馬的一座城堡，由羅馬帝國皇帝哈德良於135年至139年期間興建，
作為自己及其家人之陵墓。該建築位於台伯河畔，鄰近梵蒂岡教廷，
現已成為博物館的用途，也成為當地的旅遊景點之一。
公元6世紀教宗格列哥里一世巡遊經過此地，見到天使長米迦勒顯像，城堡因而得名。
這是羅馬一個非常著名旅遊景點，靠近梵蒂岡。在正面會看到橋上的雕像，
我發現這特別引人注目。我來到這裡時是非常好的一天，因為已計好時間到訪這裡，
所以我能拍到城堡和藍天的一些好照片。
The Castel Sant'Angelo is a towering cylindrical building in Rome, initially commissioned
by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family.
The building was later used as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum.
Legend holds that the Archangel Michael appeared atop the mausoleum,
sheathing his sword as a sign of the end of the plague of 590, thus lending the castle its present name.
It is a very famous sight in Rome, near the Vatican. The front view with the statues on the bridge,
I found, to be especially dramatic. I came here on a very good day and I timed my visit
so that I could get some good pictures with the castle and the blue sky.
