Ostia Antica, walking through history

Love at first sight. This is the most common feeling you can experience in the archeological area of Ostia Antica. A breathless walk through history, a stunning place full of well-preserved roman ruins. This was the location of the harbour city of Ancient Rome, close to the River Tiber and the sea.


It’s a really interesting visit for the whole family: both children and adults can easily imagine how this fortified citadel, founded in the IVth century BC, used to be. 

There are five main parts you can still admire: the commercial street, with official buildings, methods and sites of production. The sacred buildings, of different religious communities. The city centre: the baths, the market and the forum, which was the political heart of Ostia. The river-port quarters, with its paintings and mosaics,  and the area of Ostia Antica’s “modern buildings“.

There is also a Museum which holds some of the finest city’s statuary.

Let your imagination take you back 2,000 years!


Words cannot explain the atmosphere you can breath around there. It’s a really nice surprise: it even seems to hear voices and see the ancient Romans busy with their daily activities. This site is worth seeing: it’s a small, intimate Rome, which keeps the same magnificence.
