The present town of Ostia (pop. 5,000) is dominated by a castle (1486), built to protect the harbor. An irregular triangle in plan, it has strong walls, bastions on the side facing the river and a massive keep in typical Italian Renaissance fortification style. The Renaissance church of Santa Aurea was built at the same time.
