Hadrian’s Villa: Roman Emperor’s Ancient Villa
Hadrian’s Villa (Villa Adriana) in Tivoli bears witness to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It is one of the best-kept and most visited archaeological sites in Italy. Built by Roman Emperor Hadrian as a retreat from Rome between 117 and 138 AD, the villa was designed as an ideal city and incorporates the architectural traditions of Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. The remains of some 30 buildings extend over 120 hectares of the Tiburtine Hills, in Tivoli in the Lazio Region.

Hadrian’s Villa is a vast area of land with many pools, baths, fountains, and classical Greek and Roman architecture set in what would have been a mixture of landscaped gardens, wilderness areas, and cultivated farmlands. Due to Hadrian’s travels, he also commissioned Egyptian-style buildings and statues, even naming some of the buildings after Egyptian cities or temples.
