Archeological area Largo Argentina reserved entrance
The archaeological complex of Largo Argentina, known as a "sacred area" which includes the remains of four temples from the Republican era, came to light between 1926 and 1929, following the demolition of a pre-existing medieval district in the area, and now one of the most important archaeological complexes of the city.
You can admire the four temples dating back to between the 4th and 1st centuries BC: the Curia of Pompey, one of the four temples, is where the sessions of the Rome Senate took place, It was here that Julius Caesar was stabbed to death on the day of the Ides of March in 44 BCE. The archaeological area is visible from outside. Overlooking the square is Teatro Argentina, one of Rome’s main theaters.
The sacred area also preserves numerous testimonies of its uninterrupted life for over 2000 years, such as the imperial phases of the temples or the medieval age structures.
