Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge in RomeThe bridge across the Tevere (Tiber River) to the Pope's private castle (Castel Sant'Angelo; it's round because its built atop the Hadrian's tomb) is lined with statues of angels in flowing baroque robes. These were designed by Bernini, but likely were executed largely by his studio and assistants.

It's a pedestrian bridge today, lovely for strolling and for Tiber views. There are some great sunlight effects on the marble at sunset.
