There are about 250 cats living there, all spade and neutered, and are fed by a volunteer group.
The best part about it... they are all up for adoption for 13 euros!

The best souvenir in Rome
Many many years ago Rome experienced a rodent problem so they went to Egypt and brought back cats. To this day cats still roam the ancient ruins and some are known to inhabit the area where Caesar was killed in 44 BC (Largo di Torre Argentina). This place is now an official cat sanctuary and the cats were given protection in 2001 as part of Rome's "bio-heritage".
