Statue of the Archangel Michael located in an open courtyard inside the Castel Sant'angelo (Castle of the Holy Angel), originally the Mausoleum of Hadrian. Built to house the tomb of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (AD130-139), the building, which has sweeping views of Rome, has served as a prison, a military fortress, a papal residence in dangerous times (a passageway connects it to the Vatican), and now as a museum. Legend says the Archangel Michael appeared on the roof of the castle sheathing his sword as the plague ended in 590, hence its name. The marble statue of Saint Michael the Archangel, which originally was on the top of the castle, was carved by Italian Renaissance sculptor Raffaello da Montelupo, an apprentice of Michelangelo, in 1536. Part of the historic center of Rome, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
