Ostia Antica

- Excavations of Ancient Ostia

The present-day town of Ostia is a seaside town about thirty minutes from Rome's city center. Ancient Ostia was Rome's main port city. Founded in the fourth century BC, Ostia was not only a powerful naval base, but it was also the “Rome's Emporium,” home to a great deal of trade. All the important representatives of cultural and political life of the period passed through Ostia.
As the Roman Empire declined, so did Ostia. It was eventually abandoned after repeated sackings. At around the same time, the River Tiber changed its course, moving away from the city, and there was no longer any strategic value to be gained from Ostia's position. The abandoned city largely withstood the ravages of time, and remains remarkably preserved to this day.
Excavations began in the early nineteenth century and brought to light the city's preservation. It is in fact better preserved than Rome itself. A visit to Ostia provides a glimpse into the everyday life of a town in the Roman Empire. The tour allows you to admire the ruins of majestic buildings such as temples, theatres, houses, shops, inns, workshops, etc. The famous mosaics of the 12 thermal baths and various harbor offices are especially beautiful.
