A day outside Rome: Hadrian Villa in Tivoli


If you have intention to spend a day outside Rome, Hadrian Villa in Tivoli is the perfect destination. This is an exceptional complex of classical buildings created in the second century A.D. by the Roman emperor Hadrian, who decided to combine the best elements of the architectural heritage of Egypt, Greece and Rome in the form of an ideal city, after having travelled to the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire.

The site is so big and the gardens are so beautiful, so if you have children and you love to have a unique experience, you have to come here! The complex was constructed outside Rome, just for him to escape the pressure of the city of Rome....and if you think this was really another city....it was completely independent and had a big library, the Maritime theatre, the palace, the temple of Venus, large and small thermae and much more...

Tivoli is a special destination point for students and people interested in ancient history! It is a fantastic opportunity not to be missed! 

I was there in April with a wonderful group of students and teachers!
The weather was fantastic and it was very very relaxing!
