Ponte Sant'Angelo

  • Address: Between Lungotevere Castello and Lungotevere Altoviti, San Pietro, Rome | Map It

Fodor's Review:

One of the most beautiful of central Rome's 20 or so bridges is lined with angels designed by Bernini, Baroque Rome's most prolific architect and sculptor. Bernini himself carved only two of the angels, both of which were moved to the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte shortly afterward for safekeeping. Though copies, the angels on the bridge today convey forcefully the grace and characteristic sense of movement—a key element of Baroque sculpture—of Bernini's best work.
