This is where your guide will meet you.
Pass by, no stopThis bridge is where you'll meet the first ghost of the tour. She was a very ambitious woman in life. Locals have seen her appearing on this bridge multiple times, while she ran away with her money..
20 minHave you noticed the skulls on the facade? This is the church of the Confraternity of Death, a fraternity that still exists today. This church has been closed for over a decade, but we'll make appointment with the nun of the fraternity. She'll open the door of the church and its crypt just for us. Little spoiler: in the crypt you'll find chandeliers entirely made of human bones!
30 min · Admission includedWe'll see (from outside) a haunted palace. Here we'll also learn the ghost story of a pope and his scandals. His ghost has appeared multiple times in this very square
20 minThis lively and cheerful place used to be the location of public executions. Here the heretics were burnt alive in front of everyone. That is why there is a statue in the center of the square frowning at a specific direction..
20 minThis beautiful piazza is home to many terrible stories. Including the innkeeper that talked too much. Can you spot his head?
20 minDiscover the dark events and secrets that made the history of Rome. Get exclusive access to a secret underground crypt of the confraternity of Death, which has been closed for decades!
You'll learn about the REAL dark events that shaped the city of Rome the way we see it today.
Public executions, legendary deaths, corrupted popes.. and a mysterious fraternity taking care of the dead bodies found in the streets. Not just a bunch of silly ghost stories, but real history!
All this while walking through the backstreets and little alleys of the historical center of Rome, after the busy tourist hours.
We'll find ourselves in front of a church with skulls on its facade. We'll knock at the door and the door will open. The nun of the fraternity will let us underground the church, in the crypt.
Chandeliers made of real bones, the skulls of the brothers and sisters, with their names carved on their foreheads. After this tour you'll see things from a different perspective.
