Experience description

The Mamertine Prison is the oldest in Rome, and for many centuries it was a maximum security prison for Rome's enemies awaiting execution. This is where, according to tradition, the Apostles Peter and Paul lived their last days before being martyred.

Enhance your experience inside with a visit to the Capitoline Museums, located a few steps from the Mamertine Prison. These art and archaeological museums in Piazza del Campidoglio sit majestically on top of the Capitoline Hill and as you weave around the sculptures, you'll also enjoy sweeping views of Ancient Rome!
