The Imperial Ports of Claudius and Trajan constitute an archaeological area surrounded by greenery, a stone's throw from Fiumicino airport. After the construction of the port of Claudius, inaugurated in 64 AD, the growing need for supplies in Rome required the construction of a new quay by Trajan. This new hexagonal port, still visible in its original geometry from aerial images, was connected to the Tiber by a canal. From then until today, the coast has moved 3 km away from the ancient port. Today the splendid ruins are immersed in an oasis, the vegetation is lush. The entire site covers 65 hectares, which is also important from a naturalistic point of view, and is currently divided between the Ostia Antica Archaeological Park and the Sforza-Cesarini family, owner of the Trajan basin.
