This phantasmal tour begins at nightfall, in Campo dei Fiori. Here, you will meet your local, expert guide at the statue of Giordano Bruno—a chilling monument erected in the very spot he was executed for heresy. 


Your journey continues to the women’s prison on Via Monserrato, where the phantom of a 16th-century noblewoman is said to wander the prison grounds to this day. 


From the women’s prison, your guide will lead you to the Spanish National Church in Rome (Chiesa di Santa Maria in Monserrato degli Spagnoli) where the infamous Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, is buried. Your ghostly promenade continues along Via dei Coronari where the courtesans of Renaissance Rome—and Rome’s most infamous executioner—once lived… 


After a brief jaunt down Rome’s dimly lit cobbles and dark alleys, you will arrive at Piazza Navona, where the spectral hand of a 17th-century noblewoman is said to haunt passersby. This ghostly tour concludes at the Pantheon, where King Umberto I is buried—Recently, King Umberto’s spirit is reported to have appeared to the night watchmen guarding his tomb.
