- Villa Adriana - The majestic Hadrian’s Villa (Villa Adriana) in Tivoli is a testament to the splendor of the Roman Empire. Recognized as one of Italy’s most frequented and well-preserved archaeological treasures, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Constructed by the Roman Emperor Hadrian near the base of the Tiburtine Hills from 118 to 138 AD, this expansive estate covers roughly 120 hectares (300 acres) and resembles an ancient Roman city in its layout. The estate encompasses a variety of structures including baths, temples, barracks, theatres, gardens, fountains, and nymphaeum halls. The Villa was architecturally conceived with two distinct levels: the serene and inviting upper level was dedicated to the Emperor and his formal affairs, whereas the bustling lower level was filled with the activity of laboring slaves.

Villa Adriana, situated just on the outskirts of Tivoli, is an assortment of ancient buildings commissioned by Emperor Hadrian in the second century. It mirrored a ‘miniature town’, comprising palaces, fountains, and baths, along with other structures that reflect a mix of Greek and Egyptian aesthetic styles. Emperor Adriano’s disaffection with the palace on Palatine Hill led to the conception and construction of Villa Adriana, serving as his sanctuary. The Canopus, a vast pool wrapped by columns, is modeled after a shrine near Alexandria.
