Ponte Sant'Angelo (The Bridge of the Holy Angel), Rome - Italy In 136 AD Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a new bridge over the Tiber River. The emperor wanted to connect his mausoleum - now the Castel Sant'Angelo - with the city of Rome across the river. The bridge was originally known as the Pons Aelius, after the family name of Hadrian (Publius Aelius Hadrianus). Trastevere | Rome -- source link
