Sumario:The top quark is the heaviest known fundamental particle. As it is the only quark that decays before it hadronises, it gives us the unique opportunity to probe the properties of bare quarks at the Large Hadron Collider. This talk will present highlights of a few recent precision measurements of the top quark using 13 TeV collision data: top quark mass, top-quark pair and single top production cross sections, including differential distributions and production in association with bosons, will be presented alongside top quark properties measurements. These measurements, including results on searches for rare processes with top quarks, probe our understanding of top quark production in the TeV regime.
