If you go read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, you'll be taken to locales throughout Roma. We made our own little journey around town, seeing the churches and chapels mentioned in novel. There is a thrilling chase seen through the Castelo San Angelo. If you make through the castle to the top, you will see this angel waiting for you. It depicts the angel Michael and he and this castle have protected the Pope in times of barbarian invasions.
The castle was once the tomb of Emperor Hadrian and was used to guard the Vatican. If you want some nice pictures of St. Peters, I recommend going to here and you won't be disappointed with the view. And as a plus you get a military museum.
*For fun...can you tell me how many times I used the word angels in this post?
