The tour “The Best of Ostia Antica” will allow you to visit the most important buildings of this extraordinary archaeological site in which ancient ruins and nature blend to create fascinating landscapes.

Ostia was founded, according to the ancient sources, by King Ancus Marcius in a strategic area from a military and commercial point of view. It was the first Roman colony, the port of the city of Rome at the mouth (ostium) of the river Tiber.

Along the way you will be able to see the grandiose theater dating back to the time of Augustus and still in use, the Baths of Neptune and its mythological mosaics, the remains of the imposing Capitolium that dominates the square of the Forum and the famous insulae and tabernae.
