Largo di Torre Argentina, Archaeological square in central Rome, Italy
The square contains four ancient Roman temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre, forming an open-air museum in the center of Rome.
Julius Caesar met his end at this location in 44 BC when he was assassinated by senators at the Curia of Pompey's Theatre.
The Teatro Argentina, an eighteenth-century opera house adjacent to the square, introduced numerous works by composers Rossini and Verdi to the world.
Visitors can now explore the archaeological area through designated pathways while reading information panels that explain the significance of each structure.
The ruins serve as a sanctuary for cats, managed by volunteers who care for the felines living among the ancient temple remains.
