The Mamertine Prison is a
Must-See

Initially known as the Tullianum, the Mamertine Prison wasn't just a place to hold many prisoners, but rather a temporary prison for those awaiting execution or trial. It gained fame as the place where the well-known Christian figures, Saint Paul and Peter, were imprisoned, making it a significant site where you can experience both ancient and Christian history.

Where St. Peter and St. Paul Were Imprisoned

Located beneath the Church of San Giuseppe dei Falegnami, the Mamertine Prison was initially a reservoir created on the lower level by King Ancus Marcius, who appears in Rome's founding myth, before becoming a prison. As a prison for high-profile figures, it reopened to the public in March 2019 and is now accessible to everyone. It is also renowned as the place where Saint Peter and Paul were imprisoned.
