Itinerary

1. 1

   Piazza Trilussa

   Pass by

   This is where your guide will meet you.

2. 2

   Ponte Sisto

   20min

   This 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..

3. 3

   Chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte

   30min

   Have 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!

4. 4

   Piazza Farnese

   20min

   We'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

5. 5

   Campo De' Fiori

   20min

   This 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..

6. 6

   Piazza Navona

   20min

   This beautiful piazza is home to many terrible stories. Including the innkeeper that talked too much. Can you spot his head?
