The Journey
Rome's Version of Pompeii (Ostia Antica)
Step back in time at Ostia Antica, Rome's ancient port city, often dubbed "Rome's Pompeii." Unlike the grandeur of Rome itself, Ostia Antica offers a remarkably well-preserved glimpse into the everyday life of a Roman port town. Wander through remarkably intact streets, explore the remains of apartment buildings (insulae), bathhouses, shops, and even a theater. Imagine the hustle and bustle of merchants unloading goods from across the empire as you explore the ancient docks. Its state of preservation, due to being buried in silt from the Tiber River over centuries, makes it an essential visit for those seeking a more intimate connection with Roman history, beyond the iconic monuments of the capital. Don't miss the well-preserved mosaics and the chance to explore the less-crowded, yet equally fascinating, counterpart to Pompeii.
