Located just outside of Tivoli, Villa Adriana is a collection of classical buildings created in the second century under the orders of Emperor Hadrian. It was a “small town” consisting of palaces, fountains and baths, as well as other structures that mimic various Greek and Egyptian architectural tyles.The construction of Villa Adriana came about due to the fact that Adriano was unhappy in the palace on Palatine Hill, and he created it as his place of retreat.The Canopus, an enormous pool surrounded by columns, is a copy of a sanctuary located near Alexandria.

1Villa Adriana
Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana) in Tivoli witnesses to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. It is one of the best kept and most visited archaeological sites in Italy. This is why it has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. The Villa, was built by Roman Emperor Hadrian at the foot of the Tiburtine Hills between 118 and 138 AD. The vast residential complex extends over an area of about 120 hectares (about 300 acres) and looks very much like an ancient Roman city. The site includes buildings, baths, temples, barracks, theatres, gardens, fountains and nymphaeum halls. The Villa itself was designed on two levels: the upper floor, quiet and welcoming, was reserved for the Emperor and his official use, while the lower floor was noisy and bustled with working slaves.
