Directions to Mamestine Prison

Starting again facing the Piazza del Chinquento you walk down via Dell'umilta and take a left onto Via del Corso, walk straight past the Piazza Venizia. You then want to follow that street until you make a left onto Via dei Fori Imperiali and then a right on S. Pietro in carcere that will lead you straight to the prison on the left.
A few interesting things you will learn about this prison is that St. Peter was imprisoned there and prisoners there were dropped down a hole to death which was the only exit out of the Prison.
Three interesting things that you will pass on the route to the Prison is the Galloria Doria Pamphilj, Santa Maria in Aracoeli, and Foro di Cesare.
