How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The papal fortress and its bronze angel appear in the game's Rome and Vatican sections, linked to the Vatican by the Passetto di Borgo.
The real place
It was built in the 2nd century as the mausoleum of the Emperor Hadrian and later became a papal fortress. The Passetto di Borgo, a raised walkway, connects it to the Vatican.
Visiting
It is now a museum. The terrace under the bronze angel has one of the best views of St. Peter's, and booking a timed ticket saves a queue in summer.
