Ostia Antica is an ancient archeological site. One of the best preserved site in Rome. Ostia antica was the harbour city of ancient Rome. I am telling about a site of nearly 2000 years ago: walking along its stretts, u can se the way of life of the ancient Romans. The site was built on the mouth of the Tiber river: today the whole site is very farer than in the past: the sand trasported by the waters in the centuries, created new lands. Today Ostia Antica is far about 3-4 chilometers from the sea. The name "Ostium" means infact "mouth of the river". In the ancient times, Ostia was one of the most vivacious cities of the roman empire: it was built in the middle of important commercial paths. Its importance grow under Adriano when in Ostia were till 100.000 inhabitants. The ruins are exceptionally conserved: the site, as i can know, is second in beautifulness at Pompei ruins. Near to the roman ruins, there is the old castle of pope Giulio II (XV century) and the old village with the Sant'Aurea church.
Interesting website: http://www.ostiaantica.net, http://www.ostia-ostie.net, http://www.ostia-antica.org (in english)
How you can reach Ostia Antica: by train: metro B, Piramide station - and then train "Roma-Lido", Ostia Antica station. by car: via del Mare (or via Ostiense), from Grande Raccordo Anulare or, from Rome, leaving from Porta San Paolo.
I really hope you can visit it: it is worth going there to see a piece of the ancient times.
