Feel the chill of centuries past as you navigate this atmospheric alleyway, where the shadows seem to whisper secrets of Rome's darker history.
Campo de' Fiori

While bustling with life today, this square holds a dark secret, a reminder of a time when vengeance was a thriving business.
Passetto di Borgo

Imagine the clandestine journeys undertaken within its walls, a testament to the power and secrets of the Vatican.
Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte
Visit Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte, the head church of the Brotherhood of Death.

The church's macabre decorations and ossuary serve as a stark reminder of mortality, offering a unique and thought-provoking experience.
Piazza Mattei

Campo de' Fiori Execution Site
Reflect at the site in Campo de' Fiori where countless witches and heretics were burned alive.
