Google street view in Rome

The best part is. That’s actually a massive cat sanctuary for Rome’s cats…. at the place where Caesar got stabbed to death.

But seriously the cat sanctuary is great (go visit if you can and you can visit so many cats). And while it would seem like the archaeological site is the sanctuary, there’s actually a little area down some stairs on a wall just out of the frame where the keep the majority of the cats which can’t be let out to roam. Like blind cats, cats with specific diseases, and cats which need medication.

It’s a very good place and everyone should know about and (if possible) donate. I got to go this summer (2018) and they had over 50 cats, 30 of which need specialized care or can’t be let outside anymore.

www.gattidiroma.net is their website where you can learn more or donate!

I went there while in Rome last year and they have a cat named Brutus

Julius Ceasar got stabbed just to the left of that tree in that last picture, IIRC.
