Ancient Rome Mamertine Prison Ticket

Mamertine Prison
Must go

The Mamertine Prison was initially called Tullianum. It was not a place to hold many prisoners, but rather a temporary prison where prisoners were temporarily held before execution or trial. It is famous for the fact that the apostles Paul and Peter, who are well-known in Christianity, were imprisoned here, making it a very meaningful travel destination where you can see ancient history and Christian history all at once.

Where Saints Peter and Paul were imprisoned

The Mamertine Prison, located beneath the Basilica of San Giuseppe dei Palagrami, was originally a cistern built by King Ancus Marcius, a figure in the myth of the founding of Rome, and later became a prison. It has been a popular prison for celebrities and has been open to the public since March 2019. It is also famous as the place where Saints Peter and Paul were imprisoned.
