Fun fact....

There's this block in Rome just called "Sacred Area" south-east of Piazza Ravenna. It's an excavated area with three or four temples in it. There a plaque that says that the ancient Roman Senate chambers were just west of this area, and that's where Caesar was going/coming when he was killed.

Anyways, there's a hotel right on that spot. I've stayed there a couple of times without knowing that I was sleeping right on top of where Julius Caesar was killed.

Now, how cool is that???

There's also a cat shelter in the excavated area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largo_di_Torre_Argentina
