ostia antica - we ran out of film, so i am posting this picture from the pamplet given -

ostia - was the harbour of ancient Rome which was founded in 620 BC perhaps started off as a military control or fort like thing.

You get to see preserved ruins of thermal baths with beautiful mosaic art, sanctuaries, monuments, forums, temples etc

Ostia Antica
(i apologize for not posting anymore photographs of this place but the photos I have taken 5 years ago is so embarrassing. it will be an insult to me.)
It has great history and you'll see the Ampitheatre.

mosaic floor

You find many good examples of the beautiful roman mosaics in Ostia. This floor is in a building to the right on the main street. You can walk up some steps and see it from the top.

In summer you can spend some hours or days in Ostia, it is a nice town with an interesting archicectural site.I really don't reccommend to swim in Ostia, but its seaside deserves a walk.
