Julius Caesar's Assassination Site Now Open to Tourists in Rome
Rome has opened the site of Julius Caesar's assassination as a tourist attraction. Visitors can now walk through the ancient plaza for a fee of five euros, which was previously closed off to the public. Luxury jeweler Bulgari helped fund the project, including the installation of a new walkway. The assassination site is one of Rome's historical landmarks and was famously dramatized by Shakespeare in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
