ITALY, Hadrian's Villa

 September 14, 2017

Day trip tour from Rome.

Hadrian's Villa is a large Roman archaeological complex at Tivoli, Italy. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is the property of the Republic of Italy, and has been directed and run by the Polo Museale del Lazio since December 2014. Wikipedia

The Villa is 4 times larger than the Vatican City and at one time was covered in Marble and white plaster to look like marble. After Rome fell, citizens were allowed to recycle (steal) the Marble for new buildings.
