"Beware the ides of March: it’s here, in the Roman piazza now known as Largo di Torre Argentina, that Julius Caesar was assassinated by his conspirators in 44 BC. These days, a couple of millennia later, the square is perhaps best known to tourists for its cat sanctuary. Hundreds of felines lounge around on the picturesque ruins of four ancient temples and the Theatre of Pompey, soaking up the sunshine and creating endless photo opportunities for passerby. You’ll see them from the windows of Argentina Residenza, a small and stylish guest house located on the third floor of one of the stately buildings that line the square. If you have a camera with a zoom lens, all the better." - Tablet Hotels
