"Walk in the Footsteps of Julius Caesar at Rome's Newest Tourist Attraction"

Tourists and locals can now visit the Sacred Area in Rome where Julius Caesar was assassinated, thanks to a new walkway funded by Bulgari. The area features four ancient temples dating back to the 3rd century B.C. and is located in the middle of a busy crossroads. The walkways are wheelchair- and stroller-friendly, and an elevator platform is available for those who can't handle the stairs. General admission tickets are priced at 5 euros.

Julius Caesar's assassination site in Rome now open to public.

Largo Argentina, a temple complex in Rome that includes the "Sacred Area" where Julius Caesar was assassinated, has been opened to the public with the help of funding from Bulgari. The complex includes four temples dating back to the 3rd century B.C. and is considered "one of the best-preserved remains of the Roman Republic." The temples were uncovered during the demolition of medieval-era buildings in the late 1920s, part of Mussolini's campaign to remake the urban landscape. The attraction is open every day except for Mondays and some major holidays, with general admission tickets priced at 5 euros ($5.50).
