Colosseum & Mamertine Prison + Audio Guide

Experience description

Explore Rome's ancient history by visiting Carcer Tullianum, or Mamertine Prison, the city's oldest prison. This fortress, known for its high-security measures, once housed Rome's adversaries as they awaited their fate.



According to tradition, Apostles Peter and Paul spent their final days here before martyrdom. Absorb this history as you walk through its corridors.



But the adventure doesn't stop there! Discover the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum nearby, each with its own fascinating stories. Use the Multimedia Audio Guide Vatican&Rome, available in six languages, for an informative tour of this captivating exploration.
