Lonely Planet review

A busy transport hub, Largo di Torre Argentina is set around a sunken area, the Area Sacra, in which stand the remains of four Republican-era temples. These ruins were unearthed during construction work in 1926 and although off limits to humans are home to a thriving population of stray cats and a cat sanctuary (06 687 21 33; www.romancats.de). To learn more, and to visit the ruins, the sanctuary runs a free guided tour daily at .

On the piazza's western flank is Rome's premier theatre, the Teatro Argentina, built close to the spot where Julius Caesar was murdered on 15 March (the Ides of March) 44 BC.
