It is a small place, however full of history. St. Peter was imprisoned here and there is a small church on the top floor. Church is free to visit, the prison was 10 Euro.

Visita veloce ma è un luogo importante nella storia di Roma perché li sono stati incarcerati tanti personaggi illustri tra cui i Santi Pietro e Paolo in attesa di essere martirizzati ma anche tanti oppositori interni ed esterni di Roma. Era il carcere di massima sicurezza.
