	Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli [Introduction - part 1 of 7] (Photo Archive)
		Hadrian's Villa (Villa Hadriana) is a large Roman villa built by the emperor Hadrian in the early second century CE.
		Hadrian was born in Spain, just like his predecessor Trajan, and the senate and the local aristocracy had trouble coming to terms with another provincial on the imperial throne.
		Trajan's adoption of Hadrian on his deathbed was immediately cast in doubt, and when four military leaders, all Roman aristocrats who had been close to Trajan and hence possible contenders for the throne, were assassinated immediately after Trajan's death, the senate immediately suspected Hadrian of having ordered the killings.

	Hadrian's Villa
		For years, archeologists and architects claimed that the villa was built late in Hadrian's reign (117-138 AD) and was an attempt to memorialize foreign architectural sites he had come to love during his extensive travels as Emperor.
		Hadrian also designed a vast network of chambers and tunnels, some of which were clearly too sumptuous for use only by servants, underlying and interconnecting the many buildings at the villa site.
		Hadrian was the middle of the five "good emperors" (Nerva,, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius.) His bio from Britannica.com is at: http://www.britannica.com/bcom/eb/article/7/0,5716,39537+1+38745,00.html.

		Munna - The fountain gardens at Villa d'Este are on 2 or 3 levels - but the stairs aren't long or steep.
		Hadrian's Villa is mostly on the level so there's no problem there.
		Hadrian's Villa is not small by any means..it covers a fairly large (a subjective term I admit) sized area and to see it all you have to do some walking.

	Hadrian's Villa - Tivoli, Italy - Great Buildings Online
		"Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli, is a later counterpart of the Domus Aurea, though built as a retreat in the country rather than being in the city.
		Walking around it today, it is still possible to experience something of the variety of architectural forms and settings, and the skillful way in which Hadrian and his architect have contrived the meetings of the axes, the surprises that await the turning of a corner, and the vistas that open to view.
		It was possible here to experiment with new forms and new types of spatial composition, and some of the results are seen in the Island Villa, the vestibules at the ends of the Piazza d'Oro, the Small Baths, and the Canopus.

		I haven't been to Hadrian's Villa and don't know how much time you would need there.
		Heather - BTW I don't think you'd have time for both Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este in one afternoon.
		You can easily do Hadrian's Villa and the Villa D'Este in less than one full day; there are several tour companies that do this very trip from Rome all the time.

		Yes, it's in a "town" called Tivoli and it's simply amazing, it's not a case if the Villa is under the Unesco "protection".
		In addition to the various buildings there are also wonderful mosaics and pavements in opus sectile and opus spicatum, I don't know where to start describing it, it's huge (even bigger than Pompeii) and it's a suggestive place.
