Porta del Castel S. Angelo in Roma
Elevation of one of the entrance portals to the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. This is not the main entrance through which the fortress is entered from the Ponte Sant'Angelo, but another portal on the east side of the defense wall. This print may have been made by the Swedish architect Carl Harleman, who spent time in Italy as part of his education. The formatting of the print and the calligraphic title suggest that it may have been part of a larger series, but the exact context of its making is unknown.
