I don't know how "off the beaten path" this is, but if you love cats, you really have to check out the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary. It's in the center of the piazza on Torre Agentina, near the Pantheon. The sanctuary is a large pit of ruins that has been converted into a sanctuary for the many stray cats in Rome. These buildings used to be government offices in ancient Rome, but now they are home to nearly 100 cats. The stray cat problem is pervasive in Rome. In 1994, a group of women began caring for these cats and fundraising on their behalf. They created the cat sanctuary and work tirelessly to care for the animals there. On the weekends, the Sanctuary offers guided tours. Check their website for details. The Sanctuary is also actively trying to find homes for these cats if anyone is interested in adopting.

Nice pics. Just a little mistake in your text. The Fountain of Neptune was actually designed by Della Porta. It got its alternative name "Fontana dei Calderari" or Fountain of the Coppersmiths from the workshops nearby | Maurizioago Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:54 UTC
Good tips! I'm going to Rome soon. Ciao! | AlexDJ Mon Apr 17, 2006 12:04 UTC
