Torre Argentina & the Cat Sanctuary

If you are missing your cat, this spot is perfect to see some ancient ruins and to pet a few cats. The Torre Argentina is the remains of four Roman temples and is thought to be the place where Caesar was murdered. It was found during an excavation in the 1920s and now is a protected site. Within the ruins is also a cat sanctuary. You’ll see lots of cats roaming the ruins and in the grass but you also can walk down a small flight of stairs to a basement where there are cats you can interact with. Some are old or blind and they are all lovely to sit with for a few minutes. It doesn’t smell great in there, but it was worth it for me to visit. Be a good citizen and leave a few euro to donate to help these cuties.
