Discover a side of Rome few ever see: under the pale moonlight and ancient stones, history’s ghosts whisper their stories.

Meet at Castel Sant’Angelo, and wander across Ponte Sant’Angelo’s statues, through narrow medieval alleys, past haunted churches and forgotten courtyards. Hear tales of executions, poisoners, witches, tortured souls and end in Campo de’ Fiori, once a square of public executions, immortalised by the martyrdom of Giordano Bruno.

What To Expect

Castel Sant'Angelo

At Castel Sant’Angelo, travelers will gather in the large piazza in front of the fortress, where the guide introduces the dark history of the castle and its role in Rome’s most dramatic executions. Standing beneath the towering walls, guests will hear stories of prisoners held within, secret passages used by popes, and the haunting legends that surround this former mausoleum, fortress, and prison. From the piazza, the guide will point out key architectural elements, explain the castle’s transformation through the centuries, and set the tone for the ghostly journey that follows.

Admission Not Applicable

St. Angelo Bridge

This iconic bridge, lined with angel statues, hides tales of plague victims, papal justice, and restless spirits said to wander near the river at night.
