Viggen Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hadrian's Villa, the largest and among the most sumptuous of the villas built by Roman emperors, is open for floodlit evening tours. Visitors to the villa, which is situated near Tivoli, about 25km east of Rome, will be given guided tours of the site by an archaeologist. There are four guided tours each evening from Thursday to Sunday until August 29. Hadrian became emperor in AD 117 and began building the villa the following year, completing it a decade later. Many parts of the villa were based on famous buildings in Egypt and Greece. full article at Tandem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
