Originally built as a mausoleum for Hadrian, the Castel Sant'Angelo is now home to a museum that celebrates the emperor's life. While the mausoleum's name is quite apt for a museum dedicated to war, there is a vast collection of ancient and modern sculptures as well. The building was also built as a mausoleum for the emperor Hadrian, and its resemblance to Prague's Charles Bridge is quite striking.

The mausoleum was built in travertine and tufa, and was adorned with a helicoid ramp that led to the top. It was built on the River Tiber, and was connected to the city across the infamous Hadrian's bridge. The structure has changed a lot since its initial construction. It is now home to the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo.

The name "Castello of the Holy Angel" comes from a vision that the Roman pope Gregory I had in 590 AD. The angel saved the city from plague. The Archangel Saint Michael statue on the roof of the Castel Sant'Angelo has an image of him sheathing his sword. This story is fascinating and the museum is well worth a visit.

The Castel Sant'Angelo is a beautiful and impressive palace. The castle's top terrace, a spiral ramp that leads to six levels of the castle, offers a spectacular view of the city. The museum is free to visit, but it is recommended that you make an appointment beforehand. If you can afford it, you should take a tour of the interior. Upon arriving at the Castel Sant'Angelo, you'll find a number of interesting exhibits.

The Castle's museum is a great place for families with children. Guests of all ages can explore the dungeons. A guide is a must-have for visitors with disabilities. The museum is open daily, except on January 1 and May 1. It is a popular tourist spot and well worth a visit.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
