What is left of Torre Argentina can be found in the courtyard of Palazzetto del Bucardo. This tower was erected by order of Johannes Burkardt, known as Bucardo. He was a Belgian nobleman who worked as the Pope's master of ceremonies and, for this reason, wanted a gorgeous house with a tower. On the tower it was visible the word "argentina" coming from "Argentinus", the God of Silver: he was rich and he wanted that everybody in Rome knew that.
