Ponte Sant'Angelo (English: Hadrian's Bridge) connects the Vaticano district to the Centro district across the Tiber River in Rome.[1]
History
This bridge was built to cross the Tevere from the city centre to Hadrian's freshly completed mausoleum which later became the Castel Sant'Angelo. In 1450, its balustrades buckled due a surging mob of pilgrims making their way to the Basilica San Pietro, leading to a mass drowning. Later, in the 16th century, the structure was used to display the bodies of executed men to the public.[2][1]
