Emperor Hadrian built a large complex of temples, palaces, hippodrome, libraries, theatres and baths outside Rome, as a retreat from the eternal city.
Hadrian, Roman Emperor in the early 2nd century CE, was an avid traveler and preferred to stay outside Rome for his shaky relationship with the Senate. He constructed the Villa Adriana some 30 kilometres from the city. He wanted to incorporate elements of buildings he had seen on his many travels, and this is what makes the complex so special. Hadrian was not only the emperor, but also architect, and he personally designed the buildings after examples from Egypt, Greece and other countries of the Roman Empire. All in all, the Villa Adriana is nothing short of a large imperial palace.
