Overview

Join us for a haunted tour of Rome like no other! We dive into the city’s darkest stories—gruesome crimes, eerie ghost tales, and brutal executions—while weaving in the history of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. You’ll walk through shadowy alleys, hear about vengeful spirits, and uncover the chilling secrets hidden behind Rome’s beautiful facades. We end in Campo de’ Fiori, once a public execution site, where we bring to life the terrifying reality of those who met their fate there. If you love history with a spooky twist, this is the tour for you!

Castel Sant'Angelo

At Castel Sant’Angelo, we provide a comprehensive explanation of its history and significance. We discuss the executions that took place there, shedding light on its role as a prison and place of punishment. We also cover the fortified corridor, the Passetto di Borgo, which connects the castle to the Vatican, highlighting its importance as an escape route for popes in times of danger. Additionally, we examine the Tiber River, which has played a crucial role in Rome’s defense and development. Finally, we explore the story of Saint Michael the Archangel, whose apparition atop the castle in 590 AD signaled the end of a devastating plague, giving the fortress its name.
