Overview

Meet your guide in front of Ostia Antica entrance and once inside, you'll hear how the town filled in as the primary harbor of the Roman republic. Investigate its old crematorium, otherwise known as the necropolis, and afterward visit the amphitheater where the Roman groups thundered as they were engaged. Peer inside the Thermal Baths of Neptune to appreciate its safeguarded mosaics and frescoes, and wander along antiquated cobbles to the House of Diana — one of the town's most imperative remnants. In the wake of beholding back to Ostia's brilliance days, you'll find out about the town toward the finish of the Roman Empire when the city slipped out of unmistakable quality. Catch wind of the Roman general Sulla, and the new arrangement of city dividers that were ascribed to his time in power.

What to expect

  1. Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica
    3h · Admission ticket included
    Stroll through the Roman demolishes in this old town. It tends to be characterized a little Pompeii, only couple of kilometers from Rome. The principal settlement can be followed back to the start of the fourth century B.C. Just toward the finish of that century a squared sustained post (castrum) was assembled. This castrum was encompassed by solid tufa dividers and its fundamental street tomahawks - the Cardus and the Decumanus. This military camp, called Ostia from the Latin word Ostium signifying "mouth of the stream", was set up at a separation of around 16 miles from Rome, as a military station to monitor not just the entrance to the Tiber and the adjacent zones, so as to protect Rome. The city was then encompassed by another hover of dividers that is generally credited at the season of Sulla. The dividers delineated a urban territory of around 50 hectares which could be gotten to through three primary doors: Porta Romana,Porta Laurentina and Porta Marina.
