NOTES: Castel Sant'Angelo was originally constructed as a mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian in 135-139 AD. The bridge, built at the same time to connect the mausoleum to the Campus Martius, was named Ponte Elio (Pons Aelius). When the mausoleum became a castle in 401 AD, it was renamed Castel Sant'Angelo and the bridge took the same name.

NOTES: Castel Sant'Angelo is less commonly known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian.

NOTES: The church was completed in the 1440s while the tomb dates from 1457 and may be the work of Niccolo di Giovanni Fiorentino.

NOTES: This mausoleum was built by Count Dionysius Andrassy in 1903-1904 following the death of his wife, the celebrated Czech opera singer Frantiska Hablavcova, in 1902. The Count's remains were also laid to rest here in 1913.
