The earliest evidence of excavation activity dates from 1804/05. The ruined city is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Roman world. About two thirds of the ancient city area have been excavated so far. You can visit the above-average well-preserved remains of the forum and the theatre, thermal baths, latrines, tombs, multi-storey tenement houses, commercial agencies, bakeries, dye works, taverns and brothels and the city wall as well as a cemetery in front of the city gate on the Via Ostiense to Rome.

Ostia Antica is the archaeological site of the ancient city of Ostia, the original port city of ancient Rome and possibly its first colony.
The name Ostia is derived from the Latin ostium, meaning "entrance; mouth," which refers to the mouth of the Tiber. The name Ostia Antica (Old Ostia) is used to distinguish it from the newly founded Ostia district in the 1920s. The modern district to the northeast is also called Ostia Antica after the excavations.
