About Tivoli Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana) tour

Hadrian's Villa (Villa Adriana) was constructed in the 2nd Century AD as a retreat from Rome for Roman Emperor Hadrian. During the later years of his reign, the actually governed the empire from the villa. A large court therefore lived there permanently. After Hadrian, the villa was used by his various successors. During the decline of the Roman Empire the villa fell into disuse and was partially ruined. In the 16th century Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este had much of the marble and statues in Hadrian's villa removed to decorate his own Villa d'Este located nearby. Many beautiful artifacts have been unearthed and restored at the Villa, such as marble statues of Antinous, Hadrian's deified lover, accidentally drowned in Egypt, and mosaics from the theatre and baths. Other attractions include Discobolus, Dove Basin mosaic, Hellenistic mosaic, Capitoline Museums, Diana of Versailles, Louvre, Crouching Venus, Capitoline Antinous,Young Centaur and Old Centaur.
