What to expect
Largo di Torre Argentina is an archaeological site in Rome, featuring the remains of four temples from the Republican age, dating back to the 4th to 2nd century BC. The site is one of the most important archaeological sites in the city and is named after the Roman military outpost of Argentoratum, located in modern-day Strasbourg. The temples are identified by letters, with Temple C being the most ancient, possibly devoted to the goddess Feronia, and Temple D being the largest, dedicated to the Lares Permarini or the Nymphs. The area also features the remains of the Curia of Pompey, where Julius Caesar was stabbed to death. The site is accessible to all and offers a glimpse into Rome's rich history

Why Are There Cats In Rome Living In Ancient Ruins?
Activities: We wandered around the streets of Rome, not far from where we stayed in the Trastevere neighborhood, and stumbled upon the Largo di Torre Argentina archeological site. It’s a crumbling ruin now, but two thousand years ago, it was a busy urban mall with four temples and Pompey’s Theatre
Highlights: It was fascinating to see the ruins of the ancient Roman temples, and we imagined what it must have been like to be there two thousand years ago. We also enjoyed seeing the cats all over the ruins ✨
