Here you will discover the principle public buildings, ‘Il Capitolium’ and the temple of Rome and Augustus, the Basilica and the large thermal baths. Near the forum square you will also find the House of Diana and the ‘Thermopolium’ an ancient Roman bar with a marble counter and a fresco depicting the fruit and foodstuffs that were sold there.

Ancient Ostia We visited Ancient Ostia on a half day trip from Rome. It was one of the best attractions I have ever visited! The ruins are stunning, and give a good picture of life in this important port city. A big thank you to our guide Annamaria without you we wouldn't have understood a tenth of it :-P!

Ancient Ostia Ostia antica è un posto incredibile ma anche molto grande; Se fossimo stati da soli credo che avremmo vagato fra le rovine senza capirne il significato e probabilmente perdendo i punti salienti. la nostra guida ci ha aiutato ad apprezzare fino in fondo la bellezza e l’ importanza del luogo. Ottima guida e ottima organizzazione Sabrina Stefa2013-01-12 |
