I really like to visit these ancient buildings with a sense of historical vicissitudes, which are also called Pompeii. It's a little far from the city of Rome. These ancient buildings have been destroyed or weathered badly.
The ancient city of Ostia is very crowded. Apart from the main shopping streets, some narrow streets are quite dirty and graffiti-laden. The local market can be visited. The open-air theatre is worth visiting. You can go there by bus. The local beach is small, but it's good for children to snorkel on rocky beaches.
After half a day's tour of the ancient city of Ostia, we can experience the castles and gardens built in ancient Rome. The remnants left by them are worth appreciating. Here we can learn about the stories that happened in ancient times and tell the history of the ancient city by professional tutors.
Ostia Antica is a large archaeological site, close to the modern town of Ostia, that is the location of the harbour city of ancient Rome, 15 miles southwest of Rome. "Ostia" is a derivation of "os", the Latin word for "mouth".
The ancient city of Ostia, located in the outskirts of Rome, was an important maritime port in ancient Rome. The ancient city left many ruins with thousands of years of history. The brick-red ancient city walls are permeated with the sense of historical vicissitudes. Through these relics, we can still see the magnificent scale of the ancient city.
