Largo di Torre Argentina

  Largo di Torre Argentina sits at the heart of Rome's Jewish Ghetto, just a short walk from the bustling Campo de' Fiori. This archaeological site dates back to the 4th century BCE and once housed several temples and the Curia of Pompey, where Julius Caesar was famously assassinated. Today, it serves as a sanctuary for cats, with hundreds of feral felines roaming freely among the ancient ruins. Spring, particularly in April when wildflowers bloom, is an excellent time to visit and observe these cats in their playful antics. As you stroll through the ruins, you can see remaining columns, fascinating archaeological excavations, and maybe even snap a picture of a lounging cat atop the stones.
