The Portico of Octavia is an ancient Roman structure located in the Jewish Ghetto of Rome, notable for its historical layers and photogenic contrasts. Erected in the 2nd century BC and later rebuilt by Augustus in 27 BC, it served as a library and meeting area. The ruins include Corinthian columns and a few standing archways, providing a sense of the grandeur of ancient Rome. It features a unique blend of ancient Roman architecture set against a vibrant neighborhood backdrop. The site is particularly atmospheric at dusk when the structures are illuminated. Look for the medieval fish market built into the remains, adding to its eclectic history and photo-worthiness. Visiting during off-peak hours enhances the opportunity for unobstructed shots.
