The Temple of Romulus, and the Temple of Antonious and Faustina survived the middle ages because they were turned into churches. The remaining temples - as well as the House of the Vestal Virgins, were destroyed by the various popes of Rome to be used as building blocks for the various palaces and fountains of Rome.
The Senate (the Curia) was reconstructed - but this was not the place were Julius Caesar was murdered (the actual murder took place in Largo del Argentina) - but here he was cremated - and people still place flowers on the altar on which Caesar was cremated.
