Emperor Hadrian built a large complex of temples, palaces, hippodrome, libraries, theatres and baths outside Rome, as a retreat from the eternal city.
Hadrian took great effort to preserve the buildings as they were. To accomplish this, he constructed underground tunnels for transportation, thus leaving the buildings on the ground level intact. Nowadays, it is difficult to appreciate the beauty of the Villa Adriana, since a lot of buildings lie in ruins or have simply disappeared. Thus, the complex seems to be open, you can see through buildings which in Hadrian's time were still intact. Still, walking around the complex is rewarding. You enter at the Poikile or Pecile, based on Greek Stoa Poikile or painted colonnade, with a large pool, used for banquets in Hadrian's time.
