Friends, Romans, countrymen and tourists will now be able to walk through the Largo di Torre Argentina square near where Julius Caesar is believed to have been assassinated in 44 B.C.
A new lift and walkway allowing visitors to stroll through the square was opened Tuesday after restoration work funded by Italian fashion house Bulgari.
Because the Largo di Torre Argentina square sits below street level between the remains of four Roman temples, people previously could only look upon the square and the ruins from behind barriers.While Roman residents will get in free, non-residents must pay a $5.50 entrance fee,A long hall under the modern street opposite the site has also been filled with marble decorations and sculptures, brought out of storage after decades spent in the city’s archaeological storage.
