Parco archeologico di Ostia antica
The Parco archeologico di Ostia antica is the state site covering the ancient port city of Rome at the mouth of the Tiber, plus the harbours of Claudius and Trajan and the Portus necropolis.
Example
Ostia Antica is reached by the Roma-Lido train from Piramide, which makes it the one large archaeological site near Rome that needs no tour to get to.
