|  After
only 30 minutes trip from Rome we reach Ancient
Ostia an extraordinary archeological site. This was the city-harbour funded by ancient Romans, at the mouth of the Tiber, and which 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 the roman civilisation along its whole evolution. By walking trough the ancient roads we will plunge straight into the past every day's life of a refined and dynamic city where the cult for arts and pleasure was sovereign. You will admire in fact the ruins of the majestic public building, like temples, theatres, fora or basilicas as well as of the private ones, like houses, shops. inns, workshops etc.., ranging from the sumptuous to the humblest. Particularly attractive are the famous mosaics of the 12 thermal baths and of the various harbour offices. Return to your hotel or nearest
point.
