Rome : Largo di Torre Argentina

Largo di Torre Argentina is a square in Rome, Italy, that hosts four Republican Roman temples, and the remains of Pompey's Theatre. It is located in the ancient Campus Martius.

 

The name of the square comes from the Torre Argentina, whose Latin name was Argentoratum.

 

Julius Caesar was killed in the Curia of the Theatre of Pompey, and the spot he was believed to be assassinated is in the square.
