The Emperor Hadrian built this country villa for himself and his court, and it bears unique testimony to the grandeur and architectural and decorative characteristics of the period. Today it exists as an immense park, extending over 80 hectares and dotted with several Roman ruins as well as spas and houses from the 1700s and all set in an environment charged with ancient fascination.
The grounds also contain the “Teatro Marittimo”, an artificial island which was a private residence of the Emperor as well as other interesting locations such as “Canopo”, a huge rectangular pool encircled by sculptures which recall the Serapeo and a museum which houses an extraordinary collection of various decorative objects from the villa itself.
Excavations, still in course, have brought to light an intricate system of roads which lead to the imperial residence.
