Four temples in the heart of Rome, including the site where Roman emperor Julius Caesar was assassinated, are open to tourist visits for the first time.
According to the Associated Press, the temples, which are called the “Sacred Area,” are located in Largo Argentina (Argentine Square) and date as far back as the 3rd century B.C. The opening was partially funded by luxury jeweler Bulgari, funding accessible walkways and lighting.
Travelers can visit the site every day except on Mondays and some major holidays. Tickets are priced at 5 euros (about US $5.50) for general admission.
The site holds four temples believed to be dedicated to four goddesses, including the goddess of chance, Fortuna, as well as Pompey’s Curia, a large rectangular hall that was the site of Caesar’s infamous assassination in 44 B.C….
