+16 photos
Begin your journey at the breathtaking St. Peter’s Square, marveling at the stunning view of the Basilica and feeling the weight of Rome’s deep history. But beyond its sacred beauty, Rome hides a darker, mysterious side full of ghosts and legends...
We’ll approach the mighty Castel Sant’Angelo, once Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, later a fortress and prison where infamous souls were held captive. Hear the chilling tale of Beatrice Cenci, a tragic figure whose story has haunted this castle for centuries.
Continue to Piazza Navona, a stunning baroque square with a past as dramatic as its fountains. Discover haunting ghost stories that whisper among the ancient monuments.
Walk through Campo de’ Fiori, a lively square by day, but the site of a grim 1600s execution where a philosopher met his fate at the stake, condemned by the Church.
See Piazza Farnese, where another spectral story awaits, adding to the tapestry of Rome’s mysterious past.
