QUEEN OF HEAVENS PRISON

CARCERE DI REGINA COELI
1881/85 Carlo Morgini
He restructured the monastery built for the Discalced Carmelites in the years 1643/54 with the adjacent church of S. MARIA REGINA COELI after which the prison was named
The official capacity of inmates of the prison is about 900
In Rome it is said that, to be a true Roman, one must have climbed at least once the three steps on the threshold of this prison. In other words, according to this bizarre hearsay, the authentic Romans would be criminals
