Lido di Ostia, also known simply as Ostia, is a popular coastal neighborhood located near Rome, Italy. It is well known for its beautiful sandy beaches, vibrant promenade, and delicious seafood restaurants. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and water sports activities along the stunning Tyrrhenian Sea. Near the accommodation, guests can visit the Parrocchia Santa Maria Regina Pacis, a charming church that is worth exploring for its architecture and religious significance. It offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city life and provides insight into the local culture and traditions. Overall, Lido di Ostia is a wonderful destination for travelers looking to relax by the sea, indulge in Italian cuisine, and immerse themselves in the rich history of the region.
Ostia (officially Lido di Ostia[2]) is the coastal hamlet forming part of the Italian municipality of Roma Capitale. It includes the Lido di Ostia Ponente (Q. XXXIII), Lido di Ostia Levante (Q. XXXIV) and Lido di Castel Fusano (Q. XXXV) districts, and falls within the territory of the Roma X Municipality. A well known tourist location, it overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea near the mouth of the Tiber river, which delimits its borders with the municipality of Fiumicino. Much of the area was built starting from the early 20th century, at the end of the reclamation of the area carried out after the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy. The settlement of Ostia, according to tradition, was built under the reign of the fourth king of Rome Ancus Marzio around 630 BC, on the then coastline of the Tyrrhenian Sea and near the mouth of the Tiber river.[5][6 ][7][8] The actual date of foundation is rather uncertain: according to the Greek historian Polybius, for example, the foundation of the settlement took place under the reign of Numa Pompilius a few decades earlier while the French historian Jérôme Carcopino placed the birth of Ostia after the victories of the Romans over the Etruscans and the Ancients and believed that before the colony there was a sanctuary dedicated to the god Vulcan, of which, however, no trace remains.[9] The main function of Ostia was that of the supply of salt although the archaeological site suggests that it had, in the beginning, an important military function as the base of the first Roman fleets. Proof of its importance is the exemption from military conscription during the Second Punic War. The Roman theater of Ostia From the few historiographical and literary sources it is clear that during the civil war between Marius and Silla Ostia was sacked by the followers of the populares and subsequently rebuilt by the Roman dictator. Archaeological evidence attests it to be one of the most developed cities in pre imperial Lazio. Recognizing its importance both as a seaport and as a commercial emporium, the city was enriched in the Augustan age, to which the Roman theater and the renovation of the forum date back. Augustus himself planned to provide the city with a port basin suitable for its function which was then built along the Tiber river by Emperor Claudius in 46 about 4 km from Ostia. As the years passed, the city had to meet the growing needs of Rome and the Claudian port, whose planning errors led to continuous silting, was replaced by the hexagonal port of Trajan designed by Apollodorus of Damascus. The port grew independently as a suburb of Ostia and under Emperor Constantine I it became an autonomous city. Precisely in the Constantinian era, the decline of the first Roman colony began due both to the moving of the imperial capital to Constantinople and to the growing importance of nearby Porto.
