Traveler reviews
Nikos Marinopoulos
★★★★★3 months agoVery interesting in a disgusting way. Torture machines and horrifying stories from the museum guide. People have invented truly horrible ways to torture other people. Young boys (10+) will love it, girls not. Very small museum. They also have mask decorating workshops.

★★★★★2 years agoIt was a nice experience, I had learned a lot of things about the conditions of detention and about torture , as well I had learned more about the city and the history of the city from Tiziana Azzalini. She is a great tour guide, friendly, with knowledge that exceeds the position she holds and keeps you interested until the end. I suggest you look for tour guide Tiziana Azzalini.
