Largo di Torre Argentina site features

Temple B, the round one

The tholos, late 2nd century BCE, proposed as the temple of Fortuna huiusce diei — the Fortune of This Day. Its circular podium and surviving column shafts are the most photographed thing in the excavation and the easiest to pick out from the street.

Temple C, the oldest

Early 3rd century BCE, built on the original earth-and-gravel surface, proposed as a temple of Feronia. Lower than everything around it.

Temple A and the church inside it

Mid-3rd century BCE, proposed as Juturna. By the 12th century a church of San Nicola stood within it, and the Romanesque apse decoration survives — a medieval church fitted inside a republican temple, both still legible.

Temple D

Early 2nd century BCE, proposed as the Lares Permarini. The largest of the four, and only partly excavated: it runs on under the modern street.

The Curia of Pompey

The Sovrintendenza lists the remains of the Curia di Pompeo among what the area contains. Wikipedia is the source for the part everyone knows: that Julius Caesar was assassinated in the Curia of Pompey, and that the spot where he is believed to have been killed is in this square.

The Torre del Papito

A medieval tower at the corner of the area, left standing when the rest of the block came down in 1926.
