Isola Sacra, Archaeological necropolis in Fiumicino, Italy.
The Isola Sacra archaeological site contains numerous Roman tombs, burial chambers, and architectural structures along an ancient road connecting Portus and Ostia.
Emperor Claudius transformed this area into an artificial island by creating a canal linking the Tiber River to Portus for merchant ships from Egypt and Africa.
The necropolis reveals social structures through its tombs, where middle-class administrators, traders, and merchants of ancient Rome constructed elaborate family mausoleums.
The archaeological site opens daily from 8:30 AM to sunset, with guided tours available through the Archaeological Park of Ostia Antica administration.
The two-story burial structures feature preserved frescoes, stucco decorations, and mosaics that illustrate daily life scenes from the Roman imperial period.
