Tips from the Community
Villa Adriana was built by Hadrian between 118 and 138 AD as an imperial residence. The complex covers about 120 hectares and includes palaces, baths, libraries, gardens, temples, and pavilions inspired by the places visited by the emperor during his travels. Many buildings were connected by a network of roads and underground passages for the service staff, so as not to interfere with court life. Since 1999, Villa Adriana has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list and represents one of the most important testimonies of Roman architecture.

The Maritime Theatre is a masterpiece of Roman architecture, one of the most extraordinary and original buildings of Villa Adriana. It was a small miniature villa built on an artificial islet in the center of a circular canal. Originally, the island was accessed by two small drawbridges, traces of which remain on the bottom of the canal. In the center was the internal garden TM33 with a fountain, surrounded by a curved portico, onto which various rooms opened. Its columns supported a frieze with sea monsters that was found in the 16th century: some fragments belonged to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, others are in the Vatican Museums.

The Hospitalia have a large central corridor, along which open ten cubicles (bedrooms): each has three rectangular niches where the beds were placed. The mosaics are made in black and white with larger tesserae, a less expensive technique compared to the refined polychrome mosaics reserved for imperial buildings. The Hospitalia were intended for high-ranking personnel, probably praetorians and imperial officials, while the emperor's quarters were decorated with valuable mosaics and floors of precious marbles.
