Fans of ancient Roman history will definitely be interested in the summer residence of Emperor Hadrian. It is difficult to imagine its real size, today we see only a fifth of it. We can judge the wealth and beauty of the villa by the list of masterpieces found on it during excavations and donated, in particular, to the Vatican and Capitoline museums. And how many more were simply plundered in the dark ages.
I had a chance to visit the villa with an individual tour. We walked the longest route, about 3-3.5 hours. We went to a small museum on the territory (with original sculptures). But you can also see the villa on your own, at the entrance they sell excellent guidebooks in Russian with a description and a map. If you are by car, then there is no problem, or by bus from Rome (see the Cotral website for how to get there).
