During the German WWII occupation of Rome (1943–44) the SS set up its local headquarters in the apartment block at Via Tasso 145. Today, a small and somber museum here recounts the story of the Nazis' reign of terror in the city. Members of the local Resistance were interrogated, tortured and imprisoned here, and you can still see graffiti scrawled on the walls by condemned prisoners. Exhibits include photos, documents and artifacts charting the events of the occupation. English-language audio guides are provided.
