Visit the Ruins of Largo di Torre Argentina

Largo di Torre is an open air archaeological site that was excavated in the 1920's by the dictator Benito Musslini.  The site features the remains of four temples and Pompey's Curia.  The different temples date between the 3rd century BC and 4th century AD. 

For more than 2,000 years, the site of Largo di Torre Argentina has been known as the site of Julius Caesar's assassination. On March 15 44 BC, the Ides of March, Caesar was stabbed by conspirators outside of the theater of Pompey. Today it is a modern day cat sanctuary that sits about 20 feet below the current street level.  As you look around the ruins, you'll start to notice the felines everywhere.
