Did you know that the popes constructed a palace on top of a mausoleum built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian? Before he died, Hadrian commissioned a magnificent tomb for himself on the right bank of the Tiber River, just north of the ancient walls of Rome. Over the centuries, that tomb would become a fortress known as the Castel Sant’Angelo, then a papal residence, and finally a museum. In this episode, Emily and Cam cover the history of the monument and describe what it’s like to explore it today.Visit our homepage to subscribe, to find us on social media, and to contact us by email:https://havetogawilltravel.comIf you liked this episode, buy us a coffee:Our Ko-Fi pageLinks to other episodes we made that touch on Hadrian:Hadrian Tours the Roman WorldHadrian in AthensHadrian’s Wall, Part I: The Romans in Britain and the Imperial Frontier (the first of four episodes on Hadrian’s Wall)Thermae Romae: A Japanese Film about Ancient Roman Bathing—and Time Travel!The cover image is our own photo of the Castel Sant’Angelo!----------00:11 - Introduction: What is the Castel Sant’Angelo?04:51 - When and where was Hadrian’s Mausoleum built?05:05 - A brief history of Hadrian’s Mausoleum06:00 - The Mausoleum of Augustus: Hadrian’s inspiration08:44 - How was Hadrian’s Mausoleum different from that of Augustus?10:08 - The location of Hadrian’s Mausoleum and the Pons Aelius across the Tiber11:47 - What did Hadrian’s Mausoleum look like?
