About Torre Argentina
Why We Love It: Stand eye-level with four Republican-era temples and the Curia of Pompey, where Caesar was assassinated—plus dozens of rescued stray cats lounging on 2,000-year-old stones.

Roman Guides Insider Tip: The onsite micro-museum explains recent digs; pop in before walking the perimeter deck.

Local Secret: Volunteer cat-cuddling hours run daily 12–4 PM at the sanctuary.
