Overview

Discover the dark events and secrets that made the history of Rome. Get exclusive access to a secret underground crypt of the confraternity of Death, which has been closed for decades!

You'll learn about the REAL dark events that shaped the city of Rome the way we see it today.
Public executions, legendary deaths, corrupted popes.. and a mysterious fraternity taking care of the dead bodies found in the streets. Not just a bunch of silly ghost stories, but real history!

All this while walking through the backstreets and little alleys of the historical center of Rome, after the busy tourist hours.

We'll find ourselves in front of a church with skulls on its facade. We'll knock at the door and the door will open. The nun of the fraternity will let us underground the church, in the crypt.

Chandeliers made of real bones, the skulls of the brothers and sisters, with their names carved on their foreheads. After this tour you'll see things from a different perspective.
