Ludovica Caracciolo

"The villa was built by Roman Emperor Hadrian at the foot of the Tiburtine Hills between 118 and 138 AD. The vast residential complex extended over an area of about 120 hectares (about 300 acres) and looked very much like an ancient Roman city. The site included buildings, baths, temples, barracks, theatres, gardens, fountains and nymphaeums. The villa itself was designed on two levels: the upper floor, quiet and welcoming, was reserved for the emperors official use, while the lower floor was noisy and bustled with the work of slaves.
Standard Ticket: 8.00; Reduced Ticket: 4.00"

"Emperor Hadrian was not a fan of his Palatine Hill palace, and instead sought refuge at this complex he built in the cooler hills of Tivoli. The "villa" is actually an extensive complex with baths, auditoriums, banquet halls, and more - all built in a fabulous style with fountains, canals, and stylistic nods to Hadrian's travels."

"This expansive site is an ancient marvel. Hadrian's "villa" is more like a city unto itself. Though mostly in ruins now, the archaeological features here are impressive and beautiful."
