The most feline places in Europe
In Rome, this is the Torre Argentina Square. Not even a square, but ancient ruins, where more than 200 cats live. They seem to be sure that it was the cats who founded the city, and not Romulus and Remus.
There are many cats in Turkey, in the small and cozy town of Kalkan. They say that the Prophet Muhammad adored cats: the cat scared away a venomous snake that wanted to bite the prophet. "If you killed a cat, you should build a mosque and ask God for forgiveness," the Turks say.
The monastery of St. Nicholas, Cyprus, is called the Cat Monastery. According to legend, there was a terrible drought in Cyprus in the 4th century, which caused snakes to appear on the island. That's why thousands of cats were brought to Cyprus, and monks were assigned to look after them.
The Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia, has a long history with cats. Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, who was afraid of mice and rats, issued a "Decree on the expulsion of cats to the court."
