Ostia Antica

 DEPARTURE 08.30 A.M.
(From April 1 to October 31: Tuesday and Friday morning - 4 hours approx).

Not everybody realizes that, at only 20 miles from the Capital, an extraordinary archeological site, second in importance toPompeii, awaits: the impressive excavations of Ancient Ostia.

This was the city-harbor funded by ancient Romans, at the mouth of the Tiber, and which later was hidden by floods and mud to recent days. Its remnants are thus better preserved than in Rome itself and offer us an extraordinary testimonial of the Roman civilization along its whole evolution. By walking trough the ancient roads we will plunge straight into the past everyday life of a refined and dynamic city where the cult for arts and pleasures was sovereign.

Admire fact the ruins of majestic public buildings, like temples, theatres, fora or basilicas as well as private ones, like houses, shops, inns, workshops etc., ranging from the sumptuous to the humblest. Particularly attractive are the famous mosaics of the 12 thermal baths and of the various harbor offices (the business square). A further bonus: archeology spared the whole area from modern artifacts turning it into a delicious natural oasis, constantly cooled by healthy see breezes.
Price per Person € 55
