Castel Sant’Angelo

I did a guided tour of the Vatican but there wasn’t enough time to go to the Castel, just down the road. Which was quite annoying because Giordano Bruno – my fave Italian – was imprisoned there. Anyhoo – look at the image above. Vatican vs Batu Khan. Batu Khan was the brother of Genghis […]
