The remains of a mammoth villa that extended for hectares at the height of one
windy hill and very rich in water. It was built over a period of 20 years, until the death of Emperor Hadrian and was far from finished. Spas, basins, fountains, large reception rooms, all made to amaze visitors and for the pleasure of the emperor.
