Castel Sant'Angelo Reflecting in the Tiber River

A serene reflection of Castel Sant'Angelo dominates this image as it stands majestically along the banks of the calm Tiber River under a clear blue sky dotted with wispy clouds. The ancient stone bridge Ponte Sant'Angelo arches gracefully over the waterway connecting to the castle that has served variously as a fortress, papal residence, museum, and mausoleum throughout history. Statues line its edge while boats rest quietly by the mooring posts, all contributing to an ambiance of tranquility and timelessness.
