The Bridge of Angels
The bridge in front of the castle was built by Hadrian, to connect the mausoleum with the rest of the city, and it was originally called the Elian Bridge. Then, in 1535, the bridge was restored, and the pope had two statues erected at the entrance of the bridge, opposite the castle, depicting the saints Peter and Paul. One hundred years later, the statues of 10 angels, made by artists working under the direction of Bernini, were placed on the balustrades of the bridge.
