Something really special to crown your roman holidays. Not everybody realizes that, at only 30' from the Capital, an extraordinary archeological site, as important and exciting as Pompeii, awaits us: the impressive excavations of Ancient Ostia. This was the city-harbour founded by ancient Romans, at the mouth of the Tiber, and wich later was hidden by floods and oblivion up to our days. Its remnants are thus better preserved than in Rome itself and offer us an extraordinary testimonial of roman civilisation along its whole evolution. By walking trough the ancient roads we will plunge straight into the past everyday's life of a refined and dinamic city where the cult for arts and pleasures was sovereign. You will admire in fact the riuns of majestic public buildings, like temples, theatres, fora or basilicas, as well as of the private ones, like houses, shops, inns, workshops etc., ranging from the sumptuosus to the humblest. Particulary attractive are the famous mosaics of the 12 thermal baths and of the various harbour offices (Corporations Square). A further bonus: archeology spared the whole area from modern artefacts turning it into a delicious natural oasis, constantly cooled healtly sea breezes.
