Explore with us the incredible archeological heritage of the ancient harbours of Rome! We will let you discover the artistic and natural treasures of the Roman Coast: a perfectly preserved Roman town near the sea and surrounded by a beautiful pinewood. Only 30 minutes away from Rome! VisitOstiaAntica is a project aimed at promoting the cultural heritage of the Roman Coast, which – considering its
size and state of preservation – can be considered as unique. The proximity to the “Eternal City” has greatly limited the knowledge of the cultural diversity that the archeological sites of the area have embodied for centuries. Our aim is therefore to improve the general knowledge of the artistic and historical treasures of the Ostia Antica Archaeological Park, which includes also the areas of the Imperial Harbors of Claudius and Trajan and the beautiful Isola Sacra Necropolis (or Necropolis of Portus). The uniqueness of the archaeological heritage does not exclude a particular focus on the historical events that have marked this territory from ancient times to the present day. We firmly believe that these places can offer to everyone (adults and kids) the opportunity to combine pure amusement activities – thanks to the proximity of the sea, of the river Tiber and of one of the biggest pine forests in Europe -, and cultural activities. VisitOstiaAntica proposes therefore a series of very different initiatives, led by a team of highly qualified and motivated people (tour guides, archaeologists, art historians, historians, botanists, zoologists), who know this territory because they live it and, above all, love it.
