TIVOLI
- VILLA ADRIANA
From Roma or Civitavecchia 4
- 8 hours tour
Right
outside Rome, Tivoli, the ancient Tibur, was already a favourite holiday
resort for the Romans as well as a place for the worship of local divinities.
It is now the site of the Villa Gregoriana, a fine Cathedral and, above
all, the Villa d'Este, with an Italian garden deservedly famous for its
magic atmosphere. Tivoli is located on a low mountain and it is an ideal
stay to be in the country, not too far from the eternal city.
VILLA
D'ESTE
The
Italian gardens, with their geometric compartmentalisation, the five hundred
fountains, the age and rarity of the trees, is certainly one of the finest
gardens to be found both in and outside Italy.
VILLA
ADRIANA
The
Villa Adriana is a masterpiece that uniquely brings together the highest
expressions of the material cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world.
Villa
Adriana, an exceptional complex of classical buildings created in the
2nd century AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, reproduces the best elements
of the material cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome in the form of an
"ideal city." |
