Ostia Antica

Wander through remarkably well-preserved ruins, including residential buildings, shops, temples, and public baths, offering a vivid glimpse into daily Roman life. Explore the ancient streets, envisioning the hustle and bustle of merchants, sailors, and citizens from centuries past. Don't miss the iconic theater and the intriguing mosaics, which bring the city's history to life.
