Hadrian's mausoleum (AD 139), which became a papal fortress over fifteen centuries: the secret Passetto di Borgo corridor runs here from the Vatican — Clement VII escaped along it in 1527. The angel on the terrace honours Archangel Michael's vision. Today a national museum with views of the Tiber and St Peter's.
