Placed upon the Terrace of the Angel, it is the angel seen today at the top of the castle, its undisputed symbol. It was commissioned by Pope Benedetto XIV and substituted the preceding angel by Raffaello da Montelupo, today in the Courtyard of the Angel. During the restoration in the 1980s, its internal reinforcements were substituted with titanium replacements.
