A busy
transport hub, Largo di Torre Argentina is set around the sunken Area Sacra, and
the remains of four Republican-era temples, all built between the 2nd and 4th
centuries BC.
These ruins, among the oldest in the city, are reckoned to be
where Julius Caesar was murdered in 44 BC and, while off limits to humans, are
home to a thriving stray cat population and a volunteer-run cat sanctuary.
On the
piazza’s western flank stands Teatro Argentina, Rome’s premier theatre.
