Tourists can explore the alleged site of the Roman dictator’s assassination
New walkway near Caesar’s assassination spot to open, allowing tourists to stroll close to the ancient site where the Roman dictator met his demise. The central Largo Argentina square in Rome, adorned with the remains of four temples, is believed to be the location of Caesar’s death. Previously accessible only from behind barriers near a bustling road junction, the ruins can now be observed from a closer proximity
Starting Tuesday, tourists can explore the site at ground level using the walkway, allowing for a close-up view of the structures. The project was financed by Bulgari, an Italian fashion house, and the site was initially uncovered and excavated during construction in Rome in the 1920s. This area, near the spot where Caesar is believed to have uttered the famous words “Et tu, Brute?” upon seeing Brutus among his assailants, now also houses a sanctuary for stray cats. Visitors who are not residents will be charged a fee of €5 for entry
