[et al.] ; with an historical and descriptive memoir by Meadows Taylor ... and architectural notes by James Fergusson (London, 1886) NOTES: 'This elegant building stands alone among the tamarind trees to the south of the citadel, which was known as the royal deer park, and is generally believed to be the mausoleum of Booboojee Khanaum, or Begum Sahib, the wife of Yoosuf Adil Shah, and first Queen of Beejapoor, though there does not seem to be any real ground for the tradition...'

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.
