Kappler and was used from January 1944 as a prison by the Gestapo. In this place many civilians and members of the Roman Resistance were imprisoned, questioned, and tortured. Some of the victims of the Fosse Ardeatine (Ardeatine Graves) were taken from this prison.

A hall is dedicated to the persecution of the Roman Jews from the fascist period to the Second World War.
