The name of the square refers to the Torre Argentina, so called by Johannes Burckardt (about 1445 - 1506, Italianized name Burcardo), who starting from 1483 was master of ceremonies for as many as five Popes. The high prelate, who was born in Strasbourg (Argentoratum in Latin) and therefore liked to sign himself Argentinus, had purchased land in the area, on the remains of the Theater of Pompey, and, having demolished the pre-existing medieval structures, had his own palace built there, precisely called Casa del Burcardo, in via del Sudario 44. After 1730 the property was partially used for the construction of the Teatro Argentina (perpetuating the "theatrical" vocation of the area over time); the tower (cut off in the 1800s and then incorporated into a superelevation) although it is unrecognizable today, has left its name to the square. The tower that rises in Largo di Torre Argentina is the Torre del Papito, a medieval tower which however has nothing to do with the "Torre Argentina". In 1909 it was decided to rebuild some parts of the new capital of the Kingdom of Italy, including the area of Torre Argentina. The plans envisaged the inclusion of the Torre del Papito and the remains of a temple within the new buildings that were to be built in the area, after the demolition of the existing buildings. Following these works, including the demolition of the church of San Nicola dei Cesarini, the marble remains of a colossal statue were found; from these finds, in-depth archaeological excavations started which brought to light a sacred area, dating back to the Republican era. The Torre del Papito therefore remains in the square, now isolated from the original urban context, as well as the famous Teatro Argentina, built in 1732 by Duke Giuseppe Cesarini Sforza, currently passed among the properties of the municipality of Rome.
