Why go
The site reaches further back than many of Rome’s better-known imperial monuments. Its lettered temples preserve changing forms of Republican worship, while the remains of Pompey’s Curia connect the area to the Senate meeting at which Julius Caesar was killed in 44 BC.
What to look for
- Compare circular Temple B with the rectangular plans around it rather than searching for uncertain deity names alone.
- Look for the surviving apse inserted into Temple A, evidence of the site’s medieval reuse.
- At the rear of the temple group, orient yourself toward Pompey’s Curia and the assassination’s documented setting.
Useful to know
- Allow 45–60 minutes for the internal archaeological route; street-level viewpoints provide a quicker overview.
- The interior is accessible, but toilets are not available on site.
- Continue to the Pantheon or Gesù rather than circling the busy junction without a clear next stop.
