Overview

Villa Adriana in Tivoli (less than 30 km from Rome), was built by Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD. Its striking atmosphere evokes the glory of Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire, but also the more distant and exotic provinces, such as Greece and Egypt.

Have a nice stroll through the large square called “Pecile”, where a majestic colonnade encircles a rectangular pool, to reach the breathtaking Canopus, which recalls the Nile canal where Antinoo, the emperor’s favorite, died in a mysterious way. Here you will admire the enchanting reflections of the statues on the water and relive the splendid atmosphere of the ancient Roman banquets, surrounded by statues of caryatids, ancient heroes and even crocodiles!

You will then discover the majestic buildings of the imperial palace: luxurious baths called “thermae”, sacred temples, a theater in the center of a beautiful pond (thus called “Maritime Theater”), and the soldiers’ quarters.

Thanks to an expert archaeological guide and accurate reconstructions, you will discover the secrets and mysteries of Hadrian’s Villa, that is very similar to an actual city, with its squares, water ponds and majestic buildings!
