Castel Fusano dates back to the second century BC. At that time it was in vogue to erect luxurious residences for the Roman elite resembling those of the Hellenistic tradition.

Zona archeologica Ostia Antica

The Osta Antica Archaeological Zone takes the name of Ostia, or rather Bocca del Fiume, as it is where the Tiber ended its course before it leaved into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The river changed its course in 1575 to sag north. This area was inhabited in remote times and played a military role. In addition, Ostia represented the coexistence of different races and cultures.

Castello di Giulio II

The Castle of Giulio II is a building symbol of Renaissance military architecture. The perimeter system that characterizes the architectural structure connects the main tower to the other two towers. During the period of the pontificate of Giulio II, the strategic and military value of the structure was partly reduced by the addition of residential environments, in which traces of frescoes can still be found of the time attributable to Baldassarre Peruzzi.

Scavi di Ostia Antica

The remains of the Ostia Antica are to be attributed to the fourth king of Rome, Anco Marzio who decided to exploit the salt pans at the mouth of the Tiber from 620 BC. The first settlement took place at the beginning of the 4th century BC, when a fortress was built with powerful tuff walls and rectangular plan. This military camp was given the name of Ostia, which means the mouth of the river, thus becoming also a river port.
