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.

Since 1999, Villa Adriana has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage list and represents one of the most important testimonies of Roman architecture.
