St. Angel's Bridge, also known as St. Peter's Bridge, is an ancient Roman bridge that spans the Tiber River. It was built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 134 to connect the city center with the Castel Sant'Angelo. The bridge is paved with marble, has three arches, and is only accessible for pedestrians. History of the Holy Angel Bridge In the 6th century, Pope Gregory I named the castle and the bridge after the "Holy Angel". It is said that the Archangel Michael appeared on the roof of the castle to announce the end of the Black Death. In the jubilee year of 1450, many people drowned in the river due to the arrival of a large number of pilgrims, so the houses at the bridge head and a Roman triumphal arch were demolished to widen the pilgrimage channel. Architectural style Pont Sant'Angelo can be said to be a very beautiful bridge in the city of Rome. There are twelve vivid statues of angels on the bridge, and each angel holds the same torture tool for Jesus' torture in his hand. Two of the angels are genuine sculptures by the famous Italian sculptor and architect Bernini, which have been collected in the church of Santa Adreadelle Fratte, and two replicas have been installed on the bridge. Castel Sant'Angelo Castel Sant'Angelo is at the other end of the Pont Sant'Angelo.
