Archaeological Area Largo Argentina Tickets

About this experience

Archaeological Area Largo Argentina Tickets The Archaeological Area of Largo Argentina offers you a rare glimpse into Rome's ancient heart, right in the bustling city centre. This remarkable site houses the remains of four Roman temples dating back over 2,000 years to the Roman Republic era, discovered during construction work in the 1920s. Most significantly, this is where Julius Caesar met his end in 44 BC at the Curia of Pompey during a Senate meeting. Your visit begins at the Touristation Piazza Venezia, where staff will direct you to the visitor centre. From there, you'll explore the exposed ruins along designated walkways, admiring ancient columns, stone staircases, and temple foundations that have witnessed centuries of Roman history. While you cannot enter the temple interiors, the viewing areas provide excellent vantage points to appreciate these monumental structures. Your ticket includes a 30-minute multimedia presentation that brings the ruins to life, explaining the temples' purposes and Rome's evolution through the ages.
