Perched along the banks of the Tiber River, Castel Sant'Angelo stands as a silent witness to nearly two millennia of Roman history. Originally conceived as Emperor Hadrian's monumental mausoleum, this iconic structure evolved into a medieval fortress, a papal residence, and a powerful symbol of resilience and authority. In "Castel Sant'Angelo Through the Ages," historian Sergio Carrara takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the layers of architectural innovation, political intrigue, and cultural transformation that shaped this enduring landmark. From its beginnings as a testament to imperial grandeur to its strategic role during the turbulent Middle Ages and Renaissance, the book explores how Castel Sant'Angelo mirrored the shifting tides of power in Rome. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, this work unveils the stories behind the fortress's fortifications, the legends of the Archangel Michael, and its critical role during the Sack of Rome. A testament to the ingenuity and adaptability of human ambition, Castel Sant'Angelo continues to captivate as a bridge between the ancient and the modern. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or simply curious about Rome's storied past, this book offers an unparalleled glimpse into the life of one of the Eternal City's most iconic monuments.
