Portico of Pompey, Archaeological remains near Campo dei Fiori, Rome, Italy.

The Portico of Pompey contained extensive colonnade galleries surrounding a garden space with sculptures, fountains, and a hundred columns arrangement.

Built between 62 and 52 BC, the structure formed part of the first permanent stone theater complex in Rome, commissioned by Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus.

The site functioned as a gathering place where Romans participated in social activities while viewing art collections obtained from military campaigns.

Modern visitors can observe fragments of the ancient structure integrated within the walls of buildings between Campo dei Fiori and Largo Argentina.

The ground level rose over centuries due to Tiber River flooding, leading shop owners to repurpose original architectural elements at higher elevations.
