Step back in time and wander through the beautifully-preserved streets and villas of ancient Ostia, a coastal city just outside of Rome. Explore the archaeological park at your own pace, imagine life here thousands of years ago, and send a unique postcard to friends or family.
According to legend, Ancus Marcius, king of Rome, founded Ostia in 620 BC as a Roman colony on the mouth of the Tiber. The remains of the town were later covered in silt from the river, leaving buildings, frescoes, and mosaics preserved in excellent condition and providing a vivid picture of ancient life.
Walk through the archaeological park and check out its many highlights. These include two-story Roman apartment blocks and the seaside villas of Procoio which contain a large bath complex and an amphitheatre lined with striking theatrical masks made from stone.
As part of this experience, you can turn your own digital photos into a postcard to send to friends and family anywhere in the world.
