Ostia Antica

Let us guide you through Ostia Antica, and enrich your visit to the excavation site.

This guide covers the 40 most important excavated structures in the Ostia Antica. It offers a full description of every excavated building including 3D models or sketches of how the buildings used to look in their past glory. Markings on the map shows where the structures are placed, and where your are accordingly to them.

Using TTS (text to speak) your smartphone will act as an audio guide and will read the texts out to you loud, as you visit the different sites. The voice used is the default Android speaker voice, that is already installed on your device. All you need to do is to press “Play” at the button of a selected text, and the chosen text will be read out to you.

You can either use our predefined tour of the highlights of the area, or you can plan your own tour through the excavation site. Simply use the Tour Planner features to select the buildings you would like to see and then follow you own route through Ostia.

The Ostia app will ask for your GPS position - However the data will not be stored or in anyway shared with external parties. The app will work without the GPS turned on, but then it will not show your position on the maps.

The Ostia app has no “add-ons” or "in app purchases", so all the features will be yours without extra fees. The app is ongoing being updated and new features released.
